Steve,
You live in Ontario, aye? How do you take the cold up there?
I use to live in Portland Maine, and it was pretty damn cold
at times, but I'll bet Portland's warm weather compared to
what you have. I'm curious, how hot does it get in the
summer? does it pass 80 degrees<g> I'm just asking
because i've intertained the idea of visiting Canada since
I like cold weather and I hear it's pretty clean living (but
very expensive).
Anyway, back to COMS:
>>First we have the sub-$1,000 PC. Then we have the sub-$1,000 switches and giga-bit. Then finally we get the sub-$1,000 T1's into every house. That's gotta be the order. (backend equipment will fall before ADSL or cable will ever be cheap enough to compete for the average users' money).<<
This is an interesting view. I've tried to imagine what's
coming up, and see fiber coming up to my doorstep before 2005.
In your scenario, where do you see the 56K modems? Do you
see them as an important part of 3COM for this year and
next?
Are you saying that you see T1 lines coming into your
home (more cheaply) before ADSL or Cable can make it
in at an affordable price???
>>...In addition COMS has a brain and are busting their balls to bring out newer, faster and cheaper products.....<<
Lots of people rag on COMS because it's producing "cheaper" products,
but I'm with you, they're always a step ahead and putting
the extra proprietary intelligence to their products, ala
the newer NICs.
