"Sgt. William Hamrick II witnessed the birth of his daughter Monday. That may seem unremarkable -- except that Hamrick was 6,000 miles away in Iraq."

Strangely similar to the Telkom ad...

No it would if htey disconnected all the "broadband" users and then left the whole SaT3 pipe free for the operation, then we might have the bandwidth to do it.

What a lovely story :

Hospital information specialists put the system together at no cost to the family and talked to the Army to set everything up, hospital spokesman Greg Smith said.

It's that extra mile that let's a person know they care.

Here it's the last mile which reminds us they don't care.
