Frank et all, a good article about Phoenix and the competing technologies. multichannel.com Ken Colburn, who hosts a local radio show called Computer Corner, said that although "U S West is trying like hell" to promote MegaBit, "it's vaporware. You can't get DSL to work anywhere." Colburn said he has dedicated different radio shows to each of the three high-speed players, and he looks at each objectively. But Colburn also owns four Data Doctors stores, where he displays and sells SpeedChoice. Colburn admitted that cable modems have an advantage in that subscribers don't need second phones, nor must they dial in to ISPs. The downside, he said, is that the service's speed might be compromised if many neighbors share it. "My recommendation for people with cable modems is: 'Just don't tell anybody about it,'" he said. Data Doctors chose SpeedChoice because it was the only service available to all of its stores. "Most industrial areas aren't reached by cable," Colburn said. "We're absolutely ecstatic about providing a product that's not tied to the local telephone business," Colburn added. "They're lethargic, and they just don't care." Hiram
