By all accounts, George Nussbaum demands a lot from his Internet connection. He streams video and transfers large files from his office. His family downloads movie trailers and his stepson listens to and buys music online.

> the #1 reason why Hawaii DSL has not been popular
Well, that isn't exactly a fair comparison, Hawaii having a special circumstance.
High speed landlines come at a premium over there, what with having to have such long cables run along the bottom of the ocean and all, that they tend to go with sattellite instead. There isn't that large of a userbase there so expansion is very limited.
Face it, it isn't very easy to justify the expense for equipment to support the kind of userbase that just isn't going to be possible on the Hawaiian islands.
At least the islands can afford to have any kind if internet access at all, even if it is only on a more limited basis than contigious areas.
