T Online finally came through! And I only had to promise my 1st born and a batch of chocolate chip cookies (it's amazing what you can get away with here with American baked goods!) Anyhow, I am excited like an emoticon on skype. Mobile wireless anywhere in the country for a relatively reasonable (though high for Hungarian wages) price of $25 ish per month. A stick! That sticks out my computer and gives me the internet! And just in time for the season premiere of Lost! Makes up for the illusive cable television (though I still need to decide upon which friend's flat I will descend for Obama-fest next Tuesday since I can't wave my flags in the privacy of my own pyjamas.) My earlier point still stands tho. Cos I love that the only way to get online is to subvert any kind of expected infrastructure. Hmm, could it have anything to do with telecom monopolies and the hubris of the T, which owns the Hungarian mobile provider, and which is becoming the sole source of my communications with the outside world? I will investigate further!
