[Cable versus copper:]

<<<
Siemens has opted out from the cable TV to concentrate on supplying telecom hardware and software as part of a refocusing strategy.<<<

Looks as though Siemens wants no part of cable. And in Europe where everyone says it's entrenched. :)

>>>[Duetsche Telekom's] Ron Sommer states that if cable TV is in heavy deficit it is due to huge investment in the last few years. Strongly in favour of a unique digital television standard, he equally made clear that Deutsche Telekom does not wish to be a market leader again in this field, and prefers to remain independent. The choice of its new digital decoder is currently under discussion with the Kirch group.>>>

Deutsche Telekom, too, says let someone else do it.

<<<David Evans in Computer Weekly offers a summary of developments in the practice of Web telephony; in the USA, phone companies have formed
America's Carriers Telecommunication Association to oppose the Internet; in Britain the UK government and the regulator, Oftel, are said to be watching the situation in case web telephony threatens the vast sums made from telephone charges at present.>>>

You don't oppose something if it's not a threat. Keep those fears coming, guys, get the telcos running scared.

And, Jim, let's keep our eye on Germany this week.

Cheers!
