New high-speed Internet access coming

Technology is everywhere these days. Clark wants you to be careful when signing up for high-speed Internet. He’s leery of you signing a contract with your cable or DSL company because costs are so high. Not to mention the fact that new, cheaper ways of connecting are on the horizon. A third way to get high speed Internet is now in certain cities in Florida, Minnesota and Texas. You can now connect over wireless connections and via your phone line in some cities. A company called “Clearwire” is offering this kind of technology, which is called Wi-Max. Service starts at $24 a month. Also, Sprint will have a wireless Internet service accessible through your cell phone later this year. So, traditional high-speed companies have a lot to fear with these new technologies. They’re going to try to gouge you as a result. Don’t get taken. Hold out for the cheaper high speed service. (Editor's note: Some users have reported negative experiences with Clearwire.)

This week's poll
The high cost of jet fuel has a lot of people staying at home this summer instead of traveling. Is there a "staycation" in your immediate future?
Yes, I just can't afford a plane ticket and/or hotel room right now.
No, I've saved up all year just to get away for a bit.
Maybe, I have to wait and see how my finances pan out.
