Bernard, I simply have not been convinced that xDSL can handle the load being planned by the content providers of the Next Generation Internet. I am strictly referring to NGI and not today's graphic videotex internet, whose technology is now 20 years old. The NGI is being planned for sending for instance, Star Wars Episode I, with high-resolution video [very heavy data stream for real-time viewing] and 5.1 [6 channel] 24-bit 96kHz audio [far better resolution and than the 16-bit 44.1kHz CD]. Perhaps others can lend a hand estimating the data speed needed to transmit such data in real-time. . . then compare that to the top speed of ADSL [which is where now 1.6M?] or even VDSL [tho I don't know top data speed offhand]. I still don't see it happening. Now for the "old internet" . .sure. . .why not? But then POTS is fine for most folks now. That's why I believe digital cable via T's cable monopoly to set-top boxes in our mom and dad's homes is going to be the real communications revolution. . . like none that has been witnessed by any but the very old.
