Frank- Nice posting. Nothing there that warrants a counterpoint from me. Wonder if we are also looking at a chicken or egg dilemma that is causing demand problems? I can't even pull up what's showing at the local theaters on my so called, "always-on" cable connection. It's easier to pull the phone book off the shelf and dial up the voice recordings on the telephone. I kid you not. Same with the TV Guide. Online it's tedious to pull up the web page with all the listings. Though when it does come up, it's quite nice. It's easier to turn on the TV, pull up the MSO's online guide and scroll up about 20 times to see what's showing 10 channels at a time. Both are frustrating experiences. About the only thing that has worked consistently well for me is shopping at Amazon. And look where that has gotten them. I have twin nieces in MI who I would love to video conference with. I'm somewhat of a technology buff, YET I dread purchasing the video conferencing software and hardware for both systems. Trying to get it to run on my system I know would be a nightmare (I never did get my wireless LAN to work reliably. Ugh.). And on her end, getting their system configured is next to impossible. So what do I do? Nothing. And to think, we both have cable modems! Thank you MSOs for making your service so unreliable and thank you Microsoft and Intel for my zero confidence level in trying anything new. Anyway, just some griping about broadband's failure to capture a larger audience on what could already be very practical and lucrative applications. IMO, it's still digital TV that is going to drive the MSO to get their network into a reliable state. How exactly? I don't know. -MikeM(From Florida)
