To all,
It will take decades for all this to work and be built out.

I remember Master Limited Partnerships that what sold by the cable boys like Jones Intercable in the 70's when they were first building out the cable networks. A 10K investment usually netted you 30-80K five years down the road. Here we are some 25 years later and cable, well you know.

DSL will be more pervasive than cable. As we speak Bell South is upping the ante. The phone company will put a high speed access line right into the home. Only 400 homes to start with. Yep, it's in its infancy but the RBOC's have the time, well you know.
