At least 2/3 of the demanding public can't engage ATHM without a hookup crew coming out

ahhaha, you know the hardware better than most. Explain to me why it would not be possible for someone like CPQ to sell a "plug-n-play" computer for ATHM service.

In other words:

Let's assume T/TCI has anticipated a neighborhood or city will want ATHM and has done all the preliminary work it possibly can.

Consumer buys and takes home the special CPQ computer.

Consumer calls the ATHM office for set-up and walk-through.

Consumer sticks the cable plug in the specially designed computer and runs provided program.

Even if some local hook-up needs to be done, it seems that all the "box work" can be done by CPQ and that has to be time consuming.
