You definitely make some good points. Basic Rate ISDN's 128 Kbps seemed more than adequate when the idea was hatched back in the '70's but, then again, Bill Gates thought 640KBytes of memory was more than anyone would ever need in a home computer. Regarding the ISP portion of the model, I agree that there would be equipment/maintenance cost savings as well as some savings in interconnect cost to the LEC. However, would these savings offset the increased Internet backbone bandwidth cost which would necessarily accompany faster user access rates? The $1BillionUS question! Any sources of generic ISP business model? Tony
