"(Late edit - Boiled down, the argument is that the present structure, including STBs, will be vastly different in 5 years)"

Jim- Hey something we can ALL probably agree with!<g>

But...I say more like eight to ten years. Remember, I'm the old legacy fan-- "Once something is built, it always seems to last at least double than most estimates indicate to be it's obsolescence." Hey, maybe Mike's Law?<vbg>

I did read over your all your comments and I certainly can't argue your view(and that of ftth and Frank) that FTTH is certainly the future. As a matter of fact, that seems to be a universal conclusion here on the LMT. BUT we all differ(which makes this thread so interesting) on how we are going to get there.

In following some of your other comments, I see lots of products coming down the pipe(so to speak) that bring the Internet to the STB, hence TV. Next week I'm switching MSO's to test a new system that is only a step away from that architecture. At least that is what I'm lead to believe. I'll let you know. I'm sure it's mostly hype at this point, but we'll see. -MikeM(From Florida)
