>Cisco thinks Cable will prevail I can't speak for Cisco but historically, they attempt to cover all bases. They bought NetSpeed to cover the ADSL base. Given that US West liked the NetSpeed product and planned on using it, the bet seemed smart. To some extent the aqusition has been successful but there have been DMT developement problems which have precluded wide deployment. Moreover, logistical and regulatory hurdles have hurt the ADSL market and gotten Cisco's attention. The problems RBOCs face deploying ADSL are no different than those faced by the cable companies deploying cable modem service. The issue is cost not the technical ability to make the service work. The broadcast topology employed in cable networks is quite similar to the 10Base5/LAN world that also happens to be Cisco's bread and butter. Deep down, I think Cisco believes that architecture plays more to their strengths.
