Firstly, there
are
no health risks associated with mobile transmission
towers.
You could add
GPRS
capability to your HA server right now. Orange, mmO2 and Vodafone all offer
an
always-on connection via a mobile handset where you only pay for the data
you
transfer. However, it is SO expensive. Even on the cheapest Orange GPRS
plan,
100 MB of data will cost you £100 per month. Even then, data rates are only
around 40 kbps.
It will be at
least
5 years before you can have an ADSL type connection, via a wireless device
for a
reasonable price.

In the last year or so we've had a couple of
"Cell" aerials built within a mile of our house. Close enough to give
great coverage from our home, and far enough away not to be a health worry
or
eyesore. Anyway...as I drove past them
this morning I started thinking about my lack of ADSL (and poor propects
for
it any time this century!).
What I need is an "always on" connection so I
can
control the house through the web interface, it doesn't need to be
highspeed
as I have ADSL to my desk in work and can
download whatever I need from there.
How likely is it that in the (near) future I
could add some sort of GPRS or 3G mobile module to my HA server to allow
this? Obviuosly I'd need some sort of tarrif that took advantage of
the
always on aspects of these services without a crippling
subsription?
