Either way, Intel will benefit - IF this pans out. That is a big IF.

Good points. I just have not seen the average customer want to pay for much of anything and I think this might be a way for the phone companies to get around people like myself that tie up one line all evening just to be connected. In other words, the CPU geeks will pay for the higher speed freeing up the phone lines while the occasional customer will stick to the slow, cheapo connection.

My guess is Web-TV will be the big application to get the masses or cable modems that can deliver home viewing of events/movies and big profits to the company that brings the cable in. Just my guessing.
Of course if my TelCo gives me the connection for free or for just a bit more than I pay my ISP plus maybe the cost of a 2nd line, then they might have something. Hmmmm....I wonder if they could do it for $30/month or less?
