The Library and Modems

Is anybody else freaked out that on Tuesday we can no longer take books out from the library. It appears to be really happening. I was thinking that seeing as the library is dead and we can't support the infrastructure, why not take a tiny portion of the money that would normally go there and offer free dial-up Internet service to all the people of buffalo. Then everyone could still have information, even if they can't afford the Internet, especially since computers cost as much as a television now.

Does anyone know if you can get dial-up service without paying for phone service because if you can't yet that could be a huge market.

An ontehr note, I was talking to @dan last night who told me that he gets 230k using his sprint cellphone as a modem for his computer. that is what we are missing @chris .
