Curtis:

I would not dispute the hypothesis that it is good for the consumer to be offered "ALL available technologies" as you state. The consumer will surely benefit when there is true competition. You are absolutely correct that each technology has its short-comings that must be weighed by the consumer when making a choice.

However, I do take exception to the inference of your post that telcos are necessarily evil in response to my post that you inferred as "pro-telco;" it wasn't. I merely expressed a personal preference for a DSL over cable, but would relish either. My reasoning is based upon the:(1) bandwidth issue; & (2) security issue.

The article is demonstrative of the potential pitfalls due to shared bandwidth. That's not to say that the cablecos cannot overcome this issue. But they need to realize the shortcomings of this model, especially when they go head-to-head with DSL and wireless.
