RE: RR lags behind ATHM in that they don't have a high speed fiber backbone. Grace, I know you know the cable/ATHM business. Who's backbone does RR run on? T's, or do they lease what they need ala EXDS via EXDS? Is it simply a situation of fewer homes passed? Also, if you would comment on MSO's desire to use marketing $'s on selling HSIA when they perhaps have more profitable items to plug, ie, additional channel packages, additional outlets in the home,($3-$4 per/mo forever) which must be great for the bottom line and carry no technological headaches. Thank you. D.H.
