Some are Wired and some are Wireless. All are sick of waiting for BT to do something and have simply gone ahead and done it themselves. Many of these have something heavier duty than 802.11B cards, some are DSL providers. Story on the BBC Website M

It would be interesting to see if a company like PipeMedia, which is mentioned in the BBC report, could make a go of it in Ireland. Having to find only 50 customers to get an exchange enabled would be a godsend to many of us who are hooked to smaller rural exchanges.
