Where I live in rural Australia, my only option for broadband is via
satellite dish which means installation costs plus 50 dollars a month just
to use it - way too expensive for me, even tho I understand there is now a
subsidy available to help with the cost of the dish.  So it is back to 28
kbps very slow dialup for me.  I have 10 hours access per month for $11.
I'd love to hear all the sounds that naturerecordists group have available,
but sadly I cannot.  Hopefully our technology will improve in the coming
years.
