Carl, I disagree. I think that it's not CY's future that is limited but it's market. CY is an ISP and as such will be able to offer high speed access when and as it becomes accessible to mainstream ISP's. So who would it appeal to? Lower income families? Think convenience kiosks, libraries, malls, etc. Coming to Toronto just tripled(quadrupled? - I'm guessing) their potential market. When I say their market is limited, I'm not commenting on it's size, just that it has boundaries. ... HubTech

Dial-up access is doomed, Carl ?????????? That's quite a pronouncement and one you would certainly get a lot of debate about on some other boards. And why is it doomed? This isn't the skinny little wire argument, is it? Fact is, Carl, with all due respect, high speed access is all about infrastructure and neither the cable companies nor the telecom companies have any advantage in that area. The future of internet communications is almost certainly increasingly high speed transmissions over a combination of wireless technology and both standard and fibre optic cable. Dial-up will plug in fine. And so will Cybersurf. Of course, you're entitled to your opinion, and I, to mine. Cheers.
