Hey Joe

<<Maybe I missed something here Neil, but for the residential user
virtually every dialup session has to go through the RBOCS.>>

I hope you don't think there is a future in Analog dail-up business.

60 million homes in america have access from cable company.

As far as the competition, everyone is going to have access to network. Either the competition will buy it(ie TCI) or the FCC will give it to them in the unbundling process. If you plan to compete in the future and make money, you better make more money on your infrastructure than access fees. Look at what's going on now people are giving access and computer just to get people to look at ads at the content.

To recreate a network that provides a digital end points to 80% of the houses in a region takes a commitment that comes from making big bucks on the content.

All the DSL Announcements to date are garbage and will be until the RBOCs see the big picture.
