Rande: Regarding xDSL not being competitive with fiber, are you suggesting that the future is FTTH? If yes, who is going to pay fo it? In actuality both cable and xDSL architectures are likely to look very similar in the future, with FTTC and either cable or copper to the home. In fact, I would venture that VDSL has an excellent chance of becoming the leading broadband solution to the residential market. With respect to the debate between Ramond Duray and you with respect to broadband data by satellite, Cyberstar will start its service later this year, and Skybridge some time next year. My general view is that we will see terrestrial broadband wireless dominating in cities, and satellite everywhere else (including suburbs). Bernard Levy
