Where Internet is headed


The internet. The big space where I spend my entire life. I am on it at home, I work with it at work, I have it on my hip while on the road- I do internet. If internet were a girl she would be a petite big breasted girl with a slim midriff and medium bottom- top heavy she would be. Internet.

I love the Internet so much and am reasonably good with it that I have had these somewhat crazy capital intensive schemes to share my love for it with everyone. From actual internet service to internet service add-ons I intend to make it happen.

I looked at some of the most recent material on WIMAX. Can I tell you- not for me. Full WIMAX ratification probably won't occur until 2007 when mobile and fixed are fully incorporated. With that in mind whenever I provide internet it is one of two standards: 802.11g or 802.11a. I prefer 'a' because there is a lot less interference with regular home devices. 5ghz signal above everybody's head is stunning. I already do the 802.11g in my neighbourhood and it is too expensive to change out to 'a' but when I move on to my next neighbourhood (provided I make some money at home) I will buy the 802.11a overlay.
What better way to give internet than to also give you something to do with it. Did someone say Skype? Give me your skype username, accept my invitiation to IvyGreen Group and start saving money on International calls.

Lastly though- in case you think I am a rolling stone- i am not. I just love the internet, love technology and have every intention of making it work for me. What if I told you that within six months to a year I would have created a PBX solution that links all my locations and also allows me to make near free International and local calls as well? Also, persons who are clueless about High Speed internet or just want cheaper ways to do cool things- as well as Vybz Kartel fans- I have something bubbling for you soon. Don't believe me... hello, this is Profound you are talking to.
