the download speed is great but the experience is lacking the richness one imagines prior to getting the service. This will change for the better as open access is implemented. I agree with the premise, but I wonder about the "solution". To me this assumes that the people who will create the richness of experience are the ISP's. After all "open" access is about allowing more ISP's. Right now anyone can set up a broadband content site and make it available to the web. Why aren't they doing this more intensely? With the exception of AOL no ISP has any concept of providing a user experience anywhere near the scale required. Of course in reality AOL isnt even an ISP. All open access does is make it that much harder to guarantee the QOS necessary to make broadband work. If AOL put its mind to making a cool broadband experience could they do it? Opinions? Eric
