>> There is an irritating latency over a 56k modem though

Yup ... it's not just bitrate ... lots more "software hops" in modem servers ... which throttles the frame rate ... larger minimum interframe time.

>> This is a compelling reason why the broadband players should snatch up the young upstarts now

I'm convinced. TJ, write a check. You may not know how you're gonna use it, but you are, and it'll never be cheaper.

>> CASPs (I just made this one up - Consumer Application Service Providers)

How about:

GASPs - Global Application Service Providers
GIRLS - General Information Resource Logic System
BABEs - Broadband Application Basic Environment

We all know the internet is mostly about BABEs, eh?
