In what could become a trend - but for now appears to be the first of its kind - an apartment complex under construction in Parkland, Pierce County, will offer residents T-1 Internet access for $39.95 a month. seattletimes.com

Darren, re: unrealistic expectations as cited by Gates "Several major U.S. telephone companies each proclaimed that they would wire 500,000 to 1 million households a year, with a total of more than 9 million expected to be hooked up by the end of 1996." I find it interesting that the whole world took Ray Smith's and Malone's visions of millions of homes and the 500 channel schtick with a very large grain of salt, and yet Bill G found it worthy of noting in his book. This in some ways reminds me - and I think portends the outcome of - another venture we discussed here, recently: Teledesic. Regards, Frank Coluccio
