Re: Even though access points are growing, consumer broadband applications is not an area that's exactly alive in the entrep community.

My take is that it is much more a matter of politics than technology. DSL/ADSL exists on the sufferance of the local operating companies, who stand to be destroyed by it, and have done whatever was necessary to ensure that DSL is unsuccessful.

Voice over IP = disaster for the Telcos - and they know it.

If the government gets into broadband the winners will be decided on a political and not an economic basis. Woe to the small guys who cannot afford to buy a politico. Look at how the telcos have been able to stop a lot of development and opening of markets even though the law ostensibly favors it. Also note the ad hoc wireless broadband local nets that are springing up around the world as folks get tired of waiting for someone to do it for them.
