The fcc knows one of the major reasons cable is out in front of other residential broadband options is because the cable companies know they will profit! I think one of the reasons dsl has been anemic in comparison is that although the rbocs are best positioned to exploit it the legal framework (and existing data service cash cows) doesn't give them the same incentive... We'll see if the fcc changes their mind in 2-5 years when the cable infrastructure is substantially upgraded.

Tuesday June 15, 8:33 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Excite@Home Excite@Home Responds to Misleading Claims by GTE and AOL The GTE and AOL claims, which were based on a limited regional demonstration project, are part of a political effort to derail development and deployment of the nation's broadband cable Internet system. Among other issues, Excite@Home is especially concerned that a demonstration of such limited scale, representing a limited set of customers, is not representative of what is necessary to support real world needs or the scaleable broadband capacity demands that Excite@Home has spent the last four years pioneering and understanding. biz.yahoo.com Sleeper
