Article: Internet Growth Is Slowing? Don't Bet on It Excerpt: "As broadband access becomes pervasive, the amount of time people spend online and what they do there will become more important," says Merrill Lynch analyst Henry Blodget. So how do you get a handle on that trend? One way is to look at the spread of broadband access. About 2% of Internet visitors have cable modem or DSL access, according to researcher Jupiter Communications. That number could reach 5% by the end of this year and will probably at least double next year. Five years from now, the majority of U.S. households will be logging on over high-speed connections. This means features such as full-motion video and graphics will become the norm -- and draw a big audience. personalwealth.com

A couple more answers from Diana in MRV I/R. I asked several questions - some of which were technical in nature concerning Red-C and she will have someone else look at them. From Diana: Linux Router - We have a scaled down (scaled down in terms of hardware only) version that will be ready in October; the most important thing about this product is the software which will be ready. RED - C - The product is currently in the process of being confirmed for beta testing as we speak. Annual Meeting - Q4 - we do not have an official date yet.
