PBS Frontline broadcast, earlier this week,  Inside Japan’s Nuclear Meltdown: “An unprecedented account of the crisis inside the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex after the devastating earthquake and tsunami.” That’s their own description, but it’s fair, as we expect from this outstanding program.  And – if you’ve got a decent connection – you don’t even need a conventional television to watch it.

Which is yet another illustration of the point that access to broadband, reasonably priced, should be thought of as access to telephone or mail service. A point that, I am embarassed to say,  has been dawning on me only gradually.  On that subject we refer you, generally, to Stimulating Broadband.
