shade, "Potential," could mean a lot of things. But from what I'm guessing you mean: 1. It's somewhere around 70-80% of homes can be fairly easily (with $$) be converted from current all coaxial to two-way HFC networks. Some MSOs have almost completed the process with their particular group of customers. I posted some figures upstream concerning this. 2. Now DSL is an entirely different question. Much more complicated because there are about a dozen different, xDSLs levels. The lowest being DSL lite. And from what I know, just about every home with a twisted copper pair could get this fairly low bandwidth delivered to them relatively easy (with $). So I would guess the answer would be about 100%. But as we have discussed on this thread, DSL lite really won't compete with cable modems. But it's something the telcos or CLEC could deploy fairly quickly. Other flavors of DSL, have added complications. Again, lot's of upstream posts regarding all the problems of deploying the higher bandwidth DSL flavors. HTH, MikeM(From Florida)
