Anyone with an opinion of how many people are not signing up because "its too much hassle"?

Eric- I really believe the hassle is very minimal, and a high percentage of people wouldn't even care. Of course I was so excited to get @Home installed that I wasn't bothered a bit. I even sent the cable and software installers on their way with a couple of sodas and a thank you very much.

Was it by 2003 or so that TJ said 80% of homes would be passed by cable? Are my numbers accurate? I just looked back to see if I could find the quote, but had no luck. Anyway, I was amazed at that figure if indeed my memory is correct. That would be quite remarkable! We will then see the true penetration of cable broadband, especially if subscriber fees drop.

Have a good weekend all!!!!!
