>Do you really think home internet is not a luxury?
Yes, I think people with computers can afford free NetZero or $10 a month dial-up connection, even unemployed ones.

>Same goes for wireless voice... I just lowered my Verizon phone plan for fewer minutes
OK, but did you cancel your plan? I don't know anybody who has canceled a wireless plan. Actually with 9/11 events I see and hear people getting the cheapest plan possible or a prepaid one, just for emergency. According to latest numbers, the number of subs is still growing, albeit not as fast as it used to.

>I think you are still operating in the "tech-gee-whiz-we-have-money-turn-burn-bubble-days"
I don't think so. I did not set a specific timetable. I believe the cycle goes down, and then it goes up. I don't know when it will do so, hopefully soon. It's hard to look past the so-called "contraction" or "recession" we have now, but it will pass...

JMHO.
