Does anyone have an idea what the service will cost?

When the release says 20 times the typical connection, does that mean 20X as 28K modem? That would be about one-third the speed of G. Lite DSL, which I believe maxes out at 1.5meg. For a typical residential or small business user, is the difference significant? Sounds like same kind of possibility for bundling of services (through the retail seller) that the local wirelines and cable companies are looking for--internet, local telephone, long distance. Big interested parties: AOL, MCI/Sprint. If I were MCI/Sprint, I would jump on this because now they have something to sell.
