I agree James!
There's been a lot of talk about the bells moving into the cable business. Telcos know that cable is superior with today's technology and they're doing joint venture testing and production.
If we have cable, we don't need a telephone line! If we have a telephone line we STILL need cable, telco's know this.
Cable is the future until we get 800+ satellites in low orbit to go wireless.
ISDN will never become the norm for home use, it requires an upgraded line and is to slow. That's why phone companies haven't been pushing it!
Cable is at approx. 30Mbps download and 10Mbps upload, why settle for less. Zenith and U.S. Robotics are coming out with a cable download and a phone upload for those cable companies that don't have the money to upgrade to 2-way right now.
Motorola has orders for 500,000 cable modems already. Companies like HP, Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Toshiba, Zenith, General Instruments, U.S. Robotics, Cisco Systems, 3Com, etc. are in the CABLE MARKET NOW!
Technology doesn't wait around and the thought of ISDN being good enough is crazy. That would be like saying the 386-33 would be good enough.
Cable for under $40 including equipment with unlimited internet access and speeds in the millions of bits per second.
Cable modems will be like a Pentium to a 8088!
