Steve, >> Twisted pair is for phones, ethernet and almost everything else.. basically if it isn't fiber or coax, it's twisted pair<< I thought the phone lines were single wire copper (I'm still getting up to speed on some of these things, so bear with me), but I guess they've upgraded to the next step which is twisted pair copper...is this correct? >>I think AT&T will pull it off.. I can see AT&T offering video calling to it's customers on the TCI net... I can see them doing really well.<< Some of the reservations I have about AT&T's plans are: 1) Cable wire may be supplanted by fiber to the door. 2) AT&T will still need to spend a lot of money to upgrade the Cable networks. For one thing, they've got to make it from one way communication to two ways. Why not spend all those $$ and go directly with fiber?
