The Adirondack Mountains certainly aren’t wired for cable modems and it is so sparsely populated that it is not in any cell phone provider’s interest to erect towers everywhere so most people are left with the spotty satellite connections. The coffee shops in the small towns all have free wifi now and and they are becoming real hubs of activity. We stopped at one in Speculator that had a laptop sitting on table for customers to use. I was tempted but I couldn’t think of any good reason to check my email. I’m kind of enjoying the dead zone.
