Reasons I believe ADSL will survive (and thrive):

1) More places have telephone lines than cable. Most offices don't have cable lines, but all offices have telephone lines.

2) When everyone in your neighborhood has cable modems, they get progressively slower. I believe cable runs one direction and not the other. Is anyone out there using a cable modem to make comments on this forum? Or do you have a telephone modem to supplement your cable modem?

3) AOL lost the battle with AT&T over MediaOne, so they will be pushing hard for ADSL technology. The cable industry needs some competition, anyway.
