dare I even mention wireless last milers anymore? Do you feel that this will be a major option? I mean if you put wireless in the chain wouldn't you be restricting the pipe and perhaps killing some value added broadband features like VOD (which should really heat up next year)? You know more about this than I do so maybe you can address the HFC vs Wireless solution. If HFC is chosen wouldn't it be easier to later upgrade to FTTH?

<<Assuming, of course, that they still want this business>>Seriously doubt they want it bad enough to make the sacrifice necessary to to get it. The strategy not to make a fight out of DSL...to protect current business sets the tone and is an outgrowth of monopolistic culture from whence the ILEC's spring. Hunker down is almost certainly the best way not to blow a ton of money down a rat hole in the near term, but later business schools may retrospectively lump this with decisions by railroads not to pursue trucking....a missed opportunity to choose a substantial growth path over one of continued decline.
