What does this entail? Subscriber table entries such as miscellaneous notations on end users specifics, static and dynamic IP administration, permissions, inter-domain (read: cross ISP) security firewalling, upstream route definitions for each provider's own peering relationships, accounting hooks, etc. But Frank- GTE says it can all be solved with one simple $60,000 router for only $1 per customer! Actually have you learned any more about what that magic router actually does? Somewhere I saw mention of the make and manufacturer but no details about its function. Just occurred to me: The MSO's are nowhere near technically capable of handling a multi-access environment. They would have to hire someone to manage it all. Sounds like a job for @home. I still think no matter how this turns out @home comes out smelling good in the end. Bottom line is that they have experience, infrastructure and contacts that noone else can duplicate easily. Eric
