Pat & John, Perhaps I'm overemphasizing Amati's involvment with video but I truly do believe the surest survival path for xDSL companies is the video path. Video won't be the first wave implemented but surely, will it not be the inevitable wave? To dramatize, some brief excerpts from the NEC announcement:

<< it helps confirm the knowledge gained in several overseas trials that a market for high quality video can exist assuming the appropriate technology is made available.<<The technology used in the modems is the same as that used in the Amati Overture 8 ADSL/DMT modems and the Amati Allegro ADSL Access Concentrator. <<The significant benefits of the technology are realized in the enhanced quality of the video as compared to normal cable access television with the availability being as simple as obtaining local phone service. This trial marks the first deployment in the U.S. of real-time 6 Mbps MPEG2 switched digital video. >>

John, I know you're a CUBE poster. What will preclude me from"telephoning" (MPEG-ing) you my latest DVD movie that I took with my digital camera? Or am I just dreaming?

Regards
Steve
