This item on EWTN News caught my eye this morning."New Fibre Optic Communications Infrastructure in Vatican
VATICAN CITY, 11 MAY 2010 (VIS) - The Governorate of Vatican City State and Telecom Italia have announced the signing of a contract for the installation of the first nucleus of the "Integrated Communication Infrastructure for Vatican City State". This consists in a broadband IP network capable of voice, data and video transmission within the territory of the Holy See and Vatican City State, according to a communique published today.
The plan includes, among other things, fibre optic cable links between the ten main extraterritorial sites including the Pontifical Villas at Castelgandolfo and the radio stations in Santa Maria de Galeria."
It's when I see news items like this that I really wish I had a gift for drawing cartoons. I can see some wonderful images in my mind's eye of the Holy Father with his iPad on his knee checking out his YouTube channel! (No disrespect intended Your Holiness!)
We're having a lot of trouble with our broadband at home at the moment which is excruciatingly slow at times. I wonder if I should get 'our people ' to talk to 'their people'. LOL
