Of that I am absolutely certain. The question is when What is it that Ah is always saying about uncertainty? You can tell what but you can't tell when, and you can tell when but then you can't tell what. I'd rather know what and make a bet on when simply because I'm patient and I know how to hold. You wanna do the calculations what it would take to hook up 1.5 million people in two months without self-install? Why should I do that? It is obvious that the company is going to do the self-install regardless. It is not a good idea in the long run, but the impatience of the age is going to force them to do it anyway. What they risk by doing the self-install is the one real thing they have going for them. >>>Broadband is a luxury right now Only till you use it. Then its a necessity. Absolutely! When I bought my first Pentium it was at the luxury stage, could I go back to a 486 after that? No way! Broadband makes the Net work the way that you always envisioned it working. If anything the people that are holding back moving to broadband are those that would benefit from it the most. People like you and me would use the Net no matter how difficult and painful it was, that's the kind of people we are. The average person finds the Net difficult and aggravating in it's dial-up form, broadband brings it up to a marginally acceptable level.
