As I listened to the NPR Technology podcast today I heard commentator Mario Armstrong mention a revolutionary development I had not heard before in a piece about closing the digital divide. He mentioned a Google plan to blanket the world with “Glo-Fi,” ubiquitous global wireless broadband Internet connectivity. My ears perked up and I let out a big “No f’ing way!” How could I not have heard of this before, and how could anybody give this plan technical credibility?
A quick search on Google revealed this April Fool’s Day entry from “Lowenstein’s Lens on Wireless.” Very cearly an April Fool’s Joke. So, I am not as out of the tech loop as I might have worried there for a moment.
Whenever the winds whistles, I’ll always remeber “Lowenstein. “
