>> One question, why the 768k both ways? Do you upload alot or plan to?

1. I'm curious.

2. If it works, I've move our web server into my house. Maybe.

3. I can put my dev machine up on a VPN with my partner's machine across town and we don't have to ever think about "sending files" anymore ... we'd use a VPN for a distributed corporate intranet.

i.e., think about the paradigm shifts involved here ... if 768k is a real speed option for $80/mo, then "upload" and "download" are obsolete concepts ... I don't think in terms of asking my partner to send me a source file, I just check it out from the source server.

I'm thinking about what software companies stand to win big as this concept shift becomes pervasive. Who is leveraging software metaphors around massively increased bandwidth? Any interesting "locks" out there, I wonder? Ideas?

On my planning horizon, DSL is "over" and it's time to start thinking about the next wave. My DSL chips are in play ... time to line up the chips for the next hand.

How's that for a leap, ye naysayers? ;-)
