   I really do envy you, sir: countries in Europe enjoyed the benefits of   
   ISDN service while "Mother Bell" was refusing to offer it in the U.S.,   
   and the citizens of the European Union Could have ADSL circuits which   
   were adapted to work with ISDN, instead of in place of it, as was the   
   custom here in this country.   
      
   By the way, there are no alternative to the "new" owners of the Cable   
   TV franchise here in my town: Frontier Communications, which I thought   
   was the ILEC in this area, says they don't serve my neighborhood.   
   Spectrum, Viasat, and TDS, ditto. There's a microwave-based ISP in   
   Asheville, NC, but I'm not on a line-of-sight to any of their access   
   points up here in the hills. It's a shame: they've helped out my ham   
   radio club with preparations for emergency communicaitons, and I'd be   
   happy to have their transceiver on one of my towers, but I've got too   
   many hills in the way.
