Okay, I'll grant you that. But I'd say that building out this infrastructure is costly (which is why they needed the investments from Vulcan and MCI) and will take a long time.

By the way, do you know what their penetration rate is in the Bay Area? How does it compare to @Home, ISDN, ADSL services? Just curious.
