Another on Railways

No, this isn't about Railtel!

Rather this is a case in the UK where the basic debate is on how to service Broadband delivery inside trains. There seem to be two options being considered - A 2-Way satellite solution on the one hand & Along-The-Track-WiFi on the other hand. The problems with satellite technology are the size of the dishes required for effectively delivering a seamless wireless experience, and thus the coin is more likely to fall in favor of trackside WiFi.

At least until there are quantum leaps in antenna technology...
