Perry, not only have I read it...I've stopped by RadioShack. I was providing you with addition "Satellite Broadband" information. They can sell wired DSL any place they want, BUT if the line (Local loop) won't support it it does no good. Here is another link for those interested: biz.yahoo.com ___________________________________________CLIP_____________ Northpoint's patented technology is an innovative wireless system that operates from a series of land based transmission towers that can be quickly established in local areas at a low cost. This new high capacity system will provide consumers with a high quality, digital picture and other broadband content including high speed internet. Consumers receive Northpoint enabled services through a small dish antenna and set top box just as they currently receive DBS. _______________________________CLIP_________________________

O.k. I've gone and re-read them all. Not sure I understand your point on the NPNT DSL being branded under the MSN name. It appears to me it's another way to sell DSL, but provides no real improvement in the local loop or at the CO. Selling DSL isn't the problem...it's getting it to areas away from the CO. "Microsoft has stakes in NorthPoint and Gilat Satellite Networks the two companies offering broadband service to RadioShack customers." Not to mention MSN. You sure this isn't just a marketing ploy?
