I did see this in the N&O. On one hand it sounded a tad convoluted, 
schlepping a truck, w/laptops and a satellite dish (to an unwired rural 
location), and setting up to receive a distance ed class(es).... On the 
other, though, it seemed an interesting way to beat bricks & mortar and copper.

...pluses and minuses, all in all, tho, I've got to believe that it must be 
great for the people who can have access to courses where they couldn't 
before. I wonder, is it well subscribed?
