According to Smith Barney's report, 45 Mbps at 860 MHz. This is as much as 50 times the capacity of most existing cable systems, and 4 times the capacity of the best existing cable TV systems. Also, RCN is building a 150 home per node network, whereas the best existing networks are 500 or more homes per node (5000 for most networks).

SSMB believes that the value of the network will be tied to the consumption of each household, which will be augmented by the capacity of the network.

More capacity = More access to revenue generating services

SSMB also believes that RCN's approach to cherry-picking the best markets is a master-stroke (40% of the national market in 6% of the nation's geography). They believe that RCN will penetrate 34-35% of these households by 2008.

SSMB believes that RCNC will emerge as one of the best values in the CLEC space.

I hate to hear that! <VRG!>
