<Well, whether they're available now or not is another issue. But they should soon be here. Cable, for instance ... also fiber optics. These wires seem like they have some clear and compelling advantages to copper. Isn't it a concern that while it may take a while to upgrade all the wires that eventually they will be and that copper will no longer be the way data is transmitted?

D'Auria: Sometime in the future, we will all have fiber optic cable coming in to all of the rooms in our house, and all that. I will be a much older man by then. I think realistically, all joking aside, that's a proposition that is at one level compelling but at the economic level is many, many years away. Many years away.

The last mile solution...XDSL.
This looks promising for PAIR,Stan |
