[Demand for Bandwith]

<<So until something comes along to make it COMPELLING to buy bandwidth, such that it is profitable for the telcos to mass deploy, I think ADSL may NOT live up to even Dataquests recent DOWNWARD projections for deployment.>>

The transmission of broadcast-quality video is a highly compelling candidate to drive demand for more bandwith in my opinion. The availability of video-on-demand will be revolutionizing. I'm particularly excited about the possibilities for viewing newscasts and educutional programming from virtually any location and time period and in virtually any language. One could, for example, view a physics lecture given by Richard Feinman as a supplement to another course one is taking remotely. This will be big in my opinion! Trials for such services are being conducted worldwide.
