Arnie: Worry not, help is on the way! When the FCC finally acts on WRC-03
and drops the code testing requirement, the ARS will suddenly be filled with
eager, computer-literate, technically-inclined young newcomers to ham radio
who will invent, develop, and deploy the amateur radio version of the
broadband infrastructure now available to anyone who owns a cell phone,
wireless PDA, or Wi-Fi equipped laptop. We will be communicating by voice,
data, and image, all with no need to purchase "minutes" of air time or enter
into expensive contracts with service providers...
