A starnix employee delivering wireless to a neighborhood near you

"Like many of us, Andrew Greig put a WiFi access point in his house so 
he
could share his broadband Internet connection. But like hardly any of 
us,
Andrew uses his WiFi network for Internet, television, and telephone. He
cancelled his telephone line and cable TV service. Then his neighbors
dropped-by, saw what Andrew had done, and they cancelled their telephone
and cable TV services, too, many of them without having a wired 
broadband
connection of their own. They get their service from Andrew, who added 
an
inline amplifier and put a better antenna in his attic. Now most of 
Andrew's
neighborhood is watching digital TV with full PVR capability, making
unmetered VoIP telephone calls, and downloading data at prodigious rates
thanks to shared bandwidth. Is this the future of home communications 
and
entertainment? It could be, five years from now, if Andrew Greig has 
anything
to say about it."

It is fantastic to hear good PR for a company that has done lots of 
good for
our community .

Although apparently legal , hopefully , this publicity does not work 
out bad
for Starnix , Andrew , and neighbors ,
