Broadband- the game has not even started and the players are not even warmed up. The market is so big that there is room for both NPNT and ATHM to be 10-15 baggers in the next decade.

Right now NPNT looks very compelling just compare the market cap to that of ATHM and remember that ATHM is way off its highs do to the open access issue.

NPNT to triple digits sooner than later.

thats $40 for a shared network that will get slower day by the day. the upstream is slow, and the network has a lot of security problems.

at 4 miles you are lucky to get the northpoints' 160/160.

w/ dsl the biggest limitation is that you have to be about 12,000 feet away from the DSLAM in the CO.

<!>Cable owns the home market and DSL owns the business market.<!>

you are only saying that because cable had a year head start. once you get these loops over crowded, people will drop their cable and go with DSL. and also a lot of people want to do e-commerce...with cable you don't really have that option. look at the numbers right now, DSL sign up rate is exploding.

imo.
