Beating the dead horse: ELON's promise is in every phase of industrial physical plant, whether new construction or retrofitting older systems. Its value proposition is to reduce the cost of operating and maintaining mechanical systems. Its potential is to reduct the total cost of ownership of those systems by reducing fuel costs, reducing repair costs, reducing maintenance manpower costs, reducing spare parts inventory, and reducing the costs attributed to outages of those systems. Forget consumer (home) applications. They are a different tornado entirely.

"Optical Fiber to the Home" is the featured cover article in the "MIT's Magazine of Innovation" March/April/2000 issue. Just received it yesterday. It's a great magazine for Gorilla heads. Some of the other featured articles include: 1) patent scoreboard: 150 companies rated; 2) do software patents block innovation; 3) gene therapy at a crossroads; 4) quadriplegics think their limbs into motion; 4) review of the best new books on innovation; 5) intellectual capital article; and on and on. I don't think there is a online version, but perhaps I am mistaken. Haven't taken the time to read it yet (I've been watching elon go up!), but I highly recommend the magazine. For what it's worth, advalorem
