Not really rocket science...

Pass pass, agreed that ahaha says some pretty ridiculous things, but he is correct when he points out that GBLX infrastructure is not exactly high techology. It's just optical fibre laid on the ocean floor (but admittedly, I don't know what sits in their switching/control stations, all I know is they don't make that stuff themselves). It's costly, demands a lot of people and capital investment, but its not high tech.

Anyway, this is great news regarding MSFT. MSFT has its broadband strategy clearly laid out. What's AOL gonna do? Is this pact with MSFT exclusive? I don't think so, LOL.
