Have any of you tried to get residential ISDN service in Moscow or Pullman?
I have, and it is simply not available...even though the central switching
offices have been ISDN cabable for years (although I understand they need
to add line terminating equipment; a small investment compared to that
already made). The local telephone companies have the wherewithal to solve
much of the traffic problems that they are complaining about, and to
improve local services at the same time...
While I agree that land-use decisions will have an enormous impact on the
quality of life in our future, I also think that having telecommunications
capabilities that equal those available in Portland or Seattle is going to
become more and more important in "quality of life" scenarios...for
community and individual access to information, access to voice, and even
economic development.
Maybe Tom Trail can take this message to Boise, as well.
