Internet access is mostly reserved for browsing, icq, yahoo, etc
nothing too spectacular? it's a little village waaay up in the hills of Italy that's all wired up with high-speed internet access. It's very unique and not something anyone would expect.

Bucharest is the capital of Romania and has a population of over 2 million people. I would expect it to have a good telecommunications system in place. Bucharest being wired up is not spectacular, but the little village up in the hills of Italy is.
