Down...why not just go back to 300 bps?

I still have my first IBM PC, with 600k of RAM(only one disc drive) and that zippy aforementioned internal modem. <VBG>

>> , is very shortsighted.
Not at all - it is forseable.

>> Apps of technology
ALWAYS press the technology for better performance.

Yes - and hig end apps will be better served by DSL ans bluetooth.
Wirelss will always be bandwidth constrained and technology like WAP and webclipping will make high rate wirless data superfluous.

>> by next year you will eat your words
