Random Ramblings

From an article in IT Architect ... "Sanswire Networks has successfully flown its first two 'stratellites' over the California desert. These high-altitude airships transmit wireless communications the way satellites do, but less expensively." Instead of having to talk to a satellite (hundreds or thousands of miles high), your wireless device needs to only communicate with one of these stratellites (their own name) around 13 miles high.

Just seems kind of weird to have your ultra-high-tech wireless cellphone/pda/music player talking to ... a blimp!!
