This kind of equipment could use spare capacity on local cable networks and satellite sattelite links to spread e.g. usenet news quite inexpensively. But, the Big Question is: Does this hardware exist? Bj\o rn Remseth Institutt for Informatikk Net: rmz@ifi.uio.no Phone: +472 453466 Universitetet i Oslo, Norway Mail: rmz@neste.ifi.uio.no
