For once DJ you and I are in agreement. Your theory applies equally to the providers....if they are wanting to upgrade to newer equipment, many will hold off till the true standard is out and some will choose depending on who is first with the standard. Remember the ASND fiasco with the early rockwell chips? So not only will the current 56K modems be useless now due to lack of ISP deployment in most cases, don't expect it to get any better. Why would the ISPs upgrade to something that only causes grief (customers wanting full 56K, more demanding on line quality, etc) when they have to do it all over again in a matter of months? Even if it is a software thing, it is a pain and costs money.
