"The infrastructure is not built out yet. It would also cannibalize existing service rate structures resulting in lower revenue for service providers."

Bill quite frankly I'm more than curious where you get these ideas from. You say:
"The infrastructure is not built out yet." very broad statement...to say the least. Could you qualify that with more precise information? Is there a potential for AWRE technology to be used in the infrastructure?

Then you say:
"Rolling out ADSL to a mass market would surely overload the data backbones in most countries there because users would be elevated to higher bit rates from the existing 14.4 dial or 128 ISDN services they currently use." Could you explain how that would work? My source says that's a stretch and it doesn't work like that in reality. The understanding I have is, the faster the data flows the better...no matter if it is flowing onto, off of OR on the backbone. I've heard it expressed, that, if the bottleneck is the backbone it is simpler to fix than the current bottleneck. In the U.S. it would be outside the control of the RBOC's, which is very desirable. ISP's, to my knowledge have not voiced the opinion you have:
"It would also cannibalize existing service rate structures resulting in lower revenue for service providers." Matter of fact, I spoke to a local ISP owner yesterday, he expressed the belief, which was just the opposite of yours. He said those were the things, which drive the market and fuel the growth.
