BlackStar,
<<By talking to him I am fairly certain that ISDN, satellite and a few other technologies are going to be fads. The big guys money is on [A]DSL or other things that use existing copper lines>>
I agree with you.
ISDN never got off the ground and don't think it ever will. They wanted too $$$$ in the beginning to implement.
Right now Cable modems are the testing rage and is implemented in places. But I worry about security. For you are now connected into one big "neighbor hood network". Also, as that "hood" gets bigger, then what happens to your speed,,,, answer,,,, slows due to bandwith bottleneck within your pipe.
ADSL shows the most promise. It would be nice to pump my data and voice over one line. And it is my understanding that it is digital all the way(Unlike ISDN). Also, xDSL would allow me to have one line into the house and thus saving the cost of two(one phone/one voice).
