Let's just say I know someone who knows. Another encouraging report on the DSL market... eMarketer: Broadband access to accelerate by 2003 Broadband Internet access will accelerate in the future, with access growing six-fold to 32 million users by 2003, according to an eMarketer report. In the past, broadband deployment has been hindered by the inability of Internet service providers to roll out broadband services quickly across the US, and this was worsened by high access costs, which led to the slow adoption of such services. Cable modem broadband access has taken an early lead over DSL adoption, but DSL will overtake cable modem access by 2003, with a projected 10.95 million subscribers. The two together will constitute approximately two-thirds of all broadband deployment. The fiber optic market will be driven mostly by business usage (90 percent). There were 3.49 million business users of broadband in 1999, and this figure is projected to reach 11.3 million within 3 years as SMEs exploit cheaper broadband access methods like DSL and wireless broadband. In 1999, broadband Internet access accounted for 14.6 percent of all US subscribers, or 5.43 million users. <http://www.emarketer.com/estats/dailyestats/technology/20000915_broad.h tml>
