In regards to your comment on the possibility of T moving from the DOCSIS standards and using ethernet NICs, I have to say it is interesting. In the past you frequently heard T argue that you could not have multiple ISPs on the net. In the recent times, T does not put forth that argument.

The arguments are now:
1) We are just one of several ways to get BB in the homes.
2) AOL does not want to pay what we think is fair.
3) We need to get paid for our investment.

You would think the arguments for T would be:
1) It's impossible to do without destroying the system.
2) End of conversation. What else is there to discuss?
2) Show me scientifically how to do it and we will do it (for a price).

In other words, T does not now attack with a scientific argument, which would be much more deadly, but instead they mush around with political and financial arguments.

It does make you think T promised the FCC to test potential ways to implement multiple ISPs and is doing so.
