Regarding MS "passive" investment in cable: I went to the MS Developer's conference in 94 (maybe it was 95), whichever year it was that MS (publicly) realized the internet was important to them. Every bit of software I saw, every API being developed, every statement about the future direction of MS, was geared towards high-bandwidth. There was a lot of skepticism that the infrastructure for higher bandwidth than 56k would be available soon enough. I would bet there is a large amount of MS development waiting in the wings for the big plumbing to get to enough homes and businesses. Tom
