<The fact is that the human animal (at least in North America) will always want the latest, brightest, fastest, smallest, coolest, sexiest gizmo he can put his grubby little paws on. > I disagree with this, completely. This human american can't justify paying $30/month for cable modem ($200 installation) or $50 for DSL vs. my $9 old realiable 56K connection. This despite the fact that my geek instincts want me to buy it, plus I use the internet maybe 10-15 hours/week, a significant amount of time. Yes, there are some north americans that have the need for speed and some that dont care cause they have too much money, but I would guess I represent the mass market.....which is waiting for the cost to come down a bit more to make it worth it.
