Hi Robert:

Came across the following article today. It reminded me of the discussion I thought I was having with you.
See techweb.com

Here's an excerpt of the pertinent paragraph relating to our discussion:

"Setting up two-way operation is not the final step to broad-ranging availability of high-speed Internet access through cable networks. But it is the essential underlying step. Others include the growing availability of cable modems. Considering the cable industry has about a 5 percent buy rate for its Internet access service-and there will soon be a million subscribers-it's fair to estimate that this cable service is now available to about 20 million people.

This progress doesn't mean that physical-layer challenges don't exist. Yet the biggest concerns may not be addressed until the new era begins: They involve whether the networks hold up to the increased traffic pressure and, if not, whether providers will move to make deep changes or try to find quick fixes."

Comment if you wish.
