Anecdote re high-bandwidth adoption. Today the town of Issaquah, WA (10 mi south of MSFT campus) renewed TCI's cable franchise for the town after a protracted negotiation subject to the following conditions: - TCI must upgrade it's plant to offer digital cable and internet access - Must be completed within 12 months or TCI pays $1.3M fine. - Must be completed within 18 months or Issaquah can yank franchise - TCI must lay fiber between 12 Issaquah town public buildings. - town gets to use the fiber for whatever they want (Gigabit ethernet?) Another landmark. Here the town has used it's leverage on the franchise to force the MSO to step up and offer advanced cable service or lose it's investment. The MSO's and to a lesser extent the RBOC/CLEC/EtcLEC's may be in for some surprises on the demand side!
