Naw, broadband was around 5 years ago.

My 2 grandsons weren't though.

I guess you're looking for something more technical.

IEEE 802.16.

An 802.16 antenna can transmit Internet access up to a 30-mile radius at speeds comparable to DSL and cable broadband.

I was using 3G phones in 2001... pre market though, and they work a lot better in lab conditions ;o)

I don't think phishing was about 5 years ago.
