Yikes, RIGHT NOW most all broadband technologies are pipe dreams. Coverage is spotty at best, it has not been adopted, most consumers that don't run in tech circles don't even know what the hell it is, etc. The busy signal crisis is over for AOL. We are continuing to build out the network at a fast clip. Of course, some smaller cities could experience some busy signals - but please, don't give me the b.s. about other ISP's doing just fine. LOL. I've used several in the Wash D.C./NOVA area, and I've gotten my share.

Now, until broadband is adopted by the mass consumer audience - until millions of americans are crying out for it, it won't become the panacea your hoping for. Remember AOL's primary market, and then think about who would predominately benefit/use broadband technologies.
