Bill I thank you for your comments, they help me get a better understanding of the big picture. Your remarks...

"This type of configuration could be the eventual roll out of DSL (10-20 yrs from now) everywhere, IMO."

I'll take as tongue in cheek...lord only knows what technology we'll be using then; wireless would be my guess.

Maybe we'll be using satellites that get launched from the sea going platform they were testing in the bay here this month. The company is called Sea Launch, it's an international company, which is a joint partnership of Boeing, RSC Energia of Moscow, kvaerner Maritime of Norway and Yuzhnoye of Ukraine. First launch is scheduled for March 1999 to place a PanAmSat communications satellite in orbit. It'll be the first ever for a floating commercial launch pad. They have contracts for 18 launches from the Pacific Ocean near the equator using Zenit rockets built in the Ukraine. The self propelled launch pad is called Odyssey and the support ship is the Sea Launch Commander. My source: The Monterey County Herald - credit- staff writer Calvin Demmon.

So...I'd expect DSL to be pretty darned common place way before those 10-20 years you suggest. Did you mean Light years? <g>

Don't need no stinking NASA government shuttle,

PS We don't need no stinking government monopolies for DSL either. <g>
