Hi Pat:

<<May 31, 1996---Andy Grove, CEO of Intel, says ADSL is solution for digital broadband, not cable. >>

Why did he feel the ADSL is better then cable modem ?

As far as I know the Lancity modems are offered right now to cable companies for $300. The quotes for ADSL I have seen are in the $1000 and above. That does not sound competitve. I also think that the recent Baby Bells demands for ISV to pay them the way long distance companies pay (abot $4.50 an hour) shows that their priority has shifted from ADSL and Internet supporters to Internet advesaries as far as ISV are concerned.
