We will use a single data-line for our telephone, internet connection, and TV/DSS/Cable connection.... I already do. And, there is one alarming problem with it, and it happened to me about a month ago. The connection went down. I was left without my phone, television, and internet connection all at the same time. Gone. My cell phone wasn't even charged. Are you ready? ha! No, I wasn't ready for that, but it was an interesting experience. It reminded me of when I decided to stop watching television for two years. I just unplugged it and put it in my closet. Suddenly, I had a lot more free time.

You would think he would want to use the business spending figures to size up Cisco's predicted wealth, since its businesses who buy Cisco stuff. However, just remember that in the US we spend everything we get, and businesses spend what they get from us almost right away, so we would be looking at the same result either way. You make a good point. If one were to compute the total annual household income and also the total revenues of, say, the 100 largest corporations and compare the two numbers year over year, I would expect to see that the numbers run fairly close.
