Well, this might have been blisteringly obvious to some of you (hi Dan!), but
I'd never heard of above the crowd, or more importantly, the only publication
AltaVista found when I searched for abovethecrowd.com: Digital's own
fortnightly Rapidly Changing Face of Computing. Excellent digest, highly
recommended. The current issue leads with "networking as a utility service"
including:

> * Global wireless access is, literally, just a few years
> away with the several LEOS (Low Earth Orbit Satellite)
> systems. In fact, Online Reporter #36 points out that
> Ka-band high speed Internet-via-satellite licenses may
> be issued as early as April, with launch dates around
> the turn of the century! And that, WILL, "change the
> rules." (You can find more details about the LEOS concept,
> and on some of the rather interesting regulatory issues
> surrounding this very significant technology, at
> http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/International/Notices/fcc96426.txt
> ).

VERY good stuff. Kudos to Jeff Harrow.

The Feb 3. issue menitons the failure of Freemark, a Juno competitor, btw.
