Barrons online posted an article on cable modems. 3COMS thinks it will be selling cable modems at the rate it is currently selling modems in the near future and that they will be coming as a standard on some of the mail order computer vendors. Here is what the article said about ADSL "To understand 3Com's potential in this area, you first have to understand the current situation in the Internet access field. Most homes in North America nowadays have two wires running into them: a phone line and a cable TV line. Until this year, many folks predicted that the first high-speed Internet service available to homeowners would be a technology called Digital Subscriber Line, from the telephone companies. Although "DSL" service is available in a few locales from such telephone companies as U S West Communications and SBC Communications, squabbles on standards and tariffs have delayed industry plans for widespread deployment into 1999 and beyond. Even where it is available today, DSL service ain't cheap, with U S West charging $145 per month for 704 kilobit-per-second Internet service, which is about 25 times faster than today's typical modem links"
