Tec,

My point was that it makes the non-regional DSL providers competitive with the local DSL providers. Prior to the ruling the cost for a non-local DSL service was way out of line with the local DSL. Now, the two are similarly priced. This has no more affect on cable than the price of local DSL now. If this competition causes serious price erosion, then I would agree, it may impact cable at some point. Currently, for comparable speeds, DSL even from the local carrier is quite a bit more than cable.
This does not in any way diminish the fact that AOL has 20MM+ subscribers which will eventually be able to have their choice of delivery, be it wireless, DSL or cable.

Richie, anything that brings down the cost of DSL potentially undermines cable modem.

Competition is good for cable. Anything that lowers the cost of DSL could mean lower cost Cable. This is positive news for the cable consumers and especially positive news for @HOME who uses DSL exclusively for its business accounts (via @WORK)

Regards
Jay
