Tired of waiting for your 28kbps modem to fill your screen with Shockwave and Java applets? CAI Wireless in New Jersey (1-201-227-2612) is offering Internet access over microwave links transmitted from the top of the Empire State Building in Manhattan. Users dial-in data through regular phone lines and receive pages at 27MBps--1,000 times faster than standard modems.

Two catches: a $1,500 installation fee for a General Instruments cable modem and other gear; and a computer fast enough to process the data at that speed.
