Curtis: Good article. What a "poster-boy" newsbyte for the telcos who will be offering DSL in cable-internet territory. The article is demonstrative of why I would prefer a DSL v. cable access -- but I don't have the luxury of either right now, so choice right NOW is not an issue. Going forward when both services are available it will be. Frank: I agree with your criticisms of the cable solution. It will be a good interim solution & will drive IMHO, the future growth of the Internet because of pricing v. the telcos -- unless DSL pricing drops somewhat. Interactive programming, the feasability of downloading video [ie. 30 min TV programming,] & audio on-demand will drive demand for the broader bandwidth connection beyond the present consumer base. I truly think as all connectivity technologies evolve the cables are going to have to offer more than just a shared-pipe at a bargain basement price. One of the fundamentals of good marketing is market segmentation. [Increase that shelf space.] I don't see the future of delivering Internet access to be any different.
