Bioinformatics as in devices home bound patients use to monitor as part<br>
of hospital sponsored telemedicine programs?  Bright future.  Every<br>
hospital wants to be able to reach their market and provide telemedicine<br>
programs.  &quot;Branded networks&quot; is huge potential.  Haven&#39;t heard of any<br>
hospital connecting the dots between mesh networks in the community,<br>
though.  I approached the hospital down in my small town in Iowa.  They<br>
were using a form of telemedicine program for the veterans (PTSD) in the<br>
area.  They were very receptive of the idea of upgrading to a mesh<br>
network that would let them expand their services to videoconferencing<br>
for $50 a house.  They were hooked up to fiber optic at the<br>
state/national level.  Their stumble was at the last mile point, and the<br>
mesh network approach sounded good to them.  About that time, the mayor<br>
got a dress-down from Qwest, and everything stalled.<br>
Happy Holidays,<br>
