Bumper Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 http://www.google.com/tisp/ http://www.google.com/tisp/install.html Code-named "Dark Porcelain," Google said its "Toilet Internet Service Provider" (TiSP) works with Microsoft Corp.'s new Windows Vista operating system. But sorry -- septic tanks are incompatible with the system's requirements. :hic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holysmoke Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: Google's version of April Fool "Yesterday, Google's annual April Fools' joke featured Google TiSP, a free home wireless broadband service that connected via a 'commode-based router' and runs fiber cabling through the sewer system. This is actually not without precedent. Back in the dot-com boom, delivering broadband through sewers was the focus of CityNet Telecom, which raised $375 million in funding from major VC and private equity firms in 2000 and 2001. The company used remote-controlled robots to lay fiber through sewer lines and actually created sewer-based networks in Albuquerque and Indianapolis before merging with Universal Access in 2003." http://slashdot.org/articles/07/04/02/0341233.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
