Night,
well if the home is where you are wanting CVUS to go,there is more opportunity now. It seems cable in New York has a dispute brewing and TWX is pulling out of the interconnect business.

Time Warner Exits Big Apple Interconnect
By JIM FORKAN
New York -- Time Warner Cable, acting on repeated threats, pulled out of the New York Interconnect, putting an end to one-stop shopping for spot cable time in the country's No. 1 market.
Time Warner's withdrawal diminishes the attractiveness of that entity, which ranked as the largest by far, with 4.5 million subscribers. Time Warner alone accounted for nearly 1.3 million of those, including upscale-demographic consumers in Manhattan and Queens.
David Kline, president and chief operating officer of Rainbow Advertising Sales Corp., in a March 20 letter to Larry Zipin, Time Warner's vice president of ad sales, said its pullout "damages all cable operators in the New York area." Time Warner's exit is "bad for cable," forcing a partial reverting to the "archaic" practices of 1990, when agencies could only buy cable time by calling a bunch of individual operators, he added.
I think you are wrong about the business aspects. I have talked with a CEO of an ISP,and he said that he would target business first,as they are more lucrative,and less trouble. Hey, that is why HLIT is producing a wireless router/receiver for CVUS. You can get the equivalent of a T-1 line to your business(or better),and all of your CPE can be routed through it via a LAN.
