with consistent fast Internet service. The Japanese are sending a satellite up soon that will provide free high speed Internet service to lots of folks in the Pacific Rim. The aim is provide web access to farmers and others in "remote" areas who can't sit at home or in a Starbucks or McDonald's and serf the web. We Americans don't have that type of access and have to park (like morons) as close as possible to the Flying J for minimal "spotty" service for $4.95 a night. Of course, the FCC "regulates" all this - apparently they set the power output of what FJ can provide - and the FCC should have been overhauled like the ICC long ago - look how long they're taking to "rule" on the Sirius/XM merger. Now there is no law that prevents FJ from putting additional transmitters on the perimeters of their lots similar to Idle Aire, but then FJ, T/A, Love's, Pilot and Petro are always looking for unique ways for truckers to pay for that tight dirty parking space.
