Helk by that time, I will be watching TV from my internet phone. Qcom's chips at that time will give me 2.4 mbs on the internet. I will just have to find a phone that has a really big screen.

Larry, there is credible talk that that 2006 deadline for HDTV may be scuttled. FCC Chairman Powell may end up making that call. There is a new technology patented last year and licensed (I believe a British company) that makes flat CRT's possible. The technology makes flat CRT's just as cheap as current big CRT's with the beam guns in them. They should be out in 2-years. That's what I'm going to buy. Why get a fuzzy HDTV big screen when I can get a huge CRT that I can hang on the wall? There are also technologies in development that will enable screens to be rolled up like a newspaper for swatting flies or presenting a power point charts of Enron shell companies. Those are a still in early development.
