Maybe @Home isn't yet affordable to the average American There is hardly an average American who cannot easily afford an extra $20/month. If they can't- I'd venture to guess they could not afford a computer either. It is really about the amount of time they spend on the internet. Anyone who uses the internet more than a few times a week will see the value in broadband. Its only a matter of time before people come to the realization how integral a part of everyday culture the internet will become. Eventually as integral as television is now. Broadband will succeed (and @home with it) when the culture accepts it. This is why I say that the competion is not cable vs. dsl- it is broadband vs. dialup. Color will beat Black & White- but the sooner it happens the greater the price the public will accept as "normal". Competetion is good. Eric
