James, Maybe its not imminent, but there are new generation providers who are looking at new ways to provision residential services. For example: carolinabroadband.com These folks are looking at a traditional HFC plant, but provisioned for substantially lower oversubscription compared to current cable services or DSL. They are also looking at fiber to the home. I would like to point out that NTT's last big bet was on broadband ISDN. Not any big failure, but no great success either. Technological changes defy the centralized planning model the Japanese favor (although a fiber rich infrastructure should prove out long-term). Competition in the local market will drive change. John
