2 to 5 years.
We agree there, but in that case the future is now, as far as investing is concerned. These stocks are trading based on 02-05 earnings.

You definitely don't need Mbps speeds to achieve the services you mention. KYO (you may have heard of them) offer a Video 'phone that utilises 64kbps PHS.
I've seen a picture of one, but not one in use. I would like to see that phone performing at 64kbps, what refresh rate, what resolution, etc. I expect it is a lot less than what appears in the picture. Have you seen one operating?

User friendly GUIS don't need high data rate (they need lots of memory). WAP and web clipping can supply all the content you want at moderate data speeds (56 .. 100kpbs)

True, as far as the GUIs, what I meant was refreshing the graphics. Surfing the web at 64kbps is not a pleasent experience after getting used to T1 or better.
