I don't see HDR competing where cable is available. There is no reason that a cable modem should cost much more than an HDR modem. I think you'll see internal cable modems offered as an upgrade option from Dell, Compaq etc... pretty soon. The cost will probably be about $100. The MSOs will continue to move the HUB closer to each neighborhood to relieve local capacity issues. Most homes already have a cable wired to it so there already exists a "last mile connection". The problem is with neighborhoods like mine that is still without 2-way cable modem or DSL service. I would love to have HDR as an option. This is where HDR offers a big advantage for all the reasons you stated. MicroE
