I am also in the same area and Comcast Business Internet is a slam dunk if you can get it. The service reps and phone techs are completely different than the home/consumer experience. They have short hold times and the few times I have had outages or cable cuts (stupid building maintenance people!) I have actually been able to get same day on-site techs. They offer statics for a reasonable price and very good throughput. I have a couple different service tiers at different locations, with the highest being DOCSIS3 50/15 service. Let me tell you that it sure is fun to be able to download things at 4MB/sec if it is backed by a good CDN. I know their home customer service blows, but their commercial service is awesome. And they will install commercial service to a home. The only downside is that you can't get a TV+Internet bundle discount (but with DSL, you aren't getting that now anyway).

If you read the linked Washington Post article, they mention that the 370 NM camera is for the the low-resolution camera. In the article, they brag that it was the then widest angle reconnaissance camera. The high-resolution, and therefore narrow field, camera had a resolution of 2' 6". There is also a description of a counter-rotating optic system, which would indicate to me that they were using a scanning-style panoramic camera yielding a much larger film area than 24mm x 36mm. If I had to guess (with no particular expertise on the subject), I bet they were using something more like extra long rolls of 120 (6cm wide) roll film.

You dialed 5483.
