<< By the end of 2002, SBC plans to provide about 77 million Americans, or 80 percent of its customers, with broadband, always-on Internet voice, data and video services through faster Digital Subscriber Line services. SBC said that it planned to make the broadband services available to all its customers eventually. >> Interesting choice of terminology, there. When I first read this, I thought, 80% of customers hooked up to DSL within 3+ years? No way. Now it seems that the first part might be interpreted as DSL "being available" to 80% within 3 years. Still a hell of an ambitious goal. The ongoing battle between broadband access via cable and via DSL should be fun to watch over next year or two. And now wireless via cellphones joining the fray..... BP
