Trey,

<< well, had congress given adequete funding and not had to deal with the petro lobbies, fusion might well be a reality. >>

The key word in your statement is 'MIGHT'. If congress had given adequete funding to the education system the american kids MIGHT not be the last ones in international educational tests. The same for cancer and aids treatment.

It seems to me you are finding an excuse for something not happenning and not the reason. Some problems are very difficult to resolve and to predict time frame or the amount of funding for their resolution might be impossible.

Going back to ADSL and WSTL in particular. The reality is none of the ADSL companies or HDSL companies made any progress in the market in the last 2 years. You blame this on RBOCs being too slow in deploying and not providing sufficient funding to small start up ADSL companies, like WSTL. And the point I am trying to make is the ADSL as technology for high bandwidth 'MIGHT' be:

a. too experimental and unproven at present time
b. not cost effective for RBOCs
c. illegal to implement as far as current legislature is concern
d. not possible due to week or non existent backbone network
e. a potential looser to the cable approach in the bandwidth
f. ahead of its time, since there is no services available to take advantage of high bandwidth at the last mile

BTW I am surprised that nobody made any speculations in regard to WSTL jumping from $5 to $6 on Friday on relatively moderate volume and against the market drop. Is it the beginning of short sqeeze or turn araound ??
