I was saying 70% of all current and future homes that have PCs will have a network in them in 6 years. If you feel it will happen quicker, I believe you.

re:The technology is already in place and really what is missing is
the reason why customers would care.

Sharing cable modem access and other high bandwidth access and not having more then one ISP. At this point now with all the web-surfing game playing, homework, and people making calls, everyone is fighting for outside access. That's is what is happening at my neck of the woods, I'm sure it's being repeated many times through the country, enough so that the market is ready. DELL should address it with turnkey systems. High bandwidth will allow two or more sessions to happen over the same connection, I say this is the most compelling reason with the sharing of printers as second.
