Hi Jay, A high number (don't know what it is exactly) may not be too unrealistic. There exists a high number of subs who've been holding out, and it seems that there are sufficient 'teaser' applications on the web now to turn them into so-called "broadband" users. Previously, it was the unavailability of facilities that held users back. Now it's the 'show me' crowd that has to be satisfied, and I think that a number of them, including myself, have been convinced that there is no other way. I remember the 4.8 kb/s unix shell holdouts not so long ago. They didn't last too long, despite a good argument that they put up. Then again, those were simpler and more predictable times. FAC
