--Brilliant !! Doofus thinks that only Pet.com types --populated the dot com world. --Three years ago their were 4 DSL it's more than a little scary that you need to be reminded of the obvious, but DSL companies are not 'dot.coms" and the "dot com bubble" does not refer to them. --- Now you can purchase your DSL service from only one healthy supplier -- Pacific Bell Yeah. And that makes sense. There's only one set of wires from the local switch to people's houses -- why should their be more than one DSL carrier? --In addition most all of the resellers of DSL service from the three carriers are all gone too. even better. Resellers of 2ndary DSL carriers are even more efficient -- a very stupid system to create tiers of "competitors" who have inevitably higher costs. - Charles

Intel server sales show signs of life By John G. Spooner Staff Writer, CNET News.com October 11, 2002, 7:18 AM PT Intel servers may be on the road to recovery, according to a new report. The market for standard servers, which include systems running Linux or Microsoft Windows with an Intel processor, have broken through the economy's malaise, IDC said. Third quarter sales grew for the first time since early last year, reaching $5 billion in revenue. That represents an 8.6 percent sequential increase from the second quarter and a 4.7 percent jump from a year ago, IDC said. Intel servers are important products for PC makers such as Dell Computer, IBM, and Hewlett-Packard because they represent a large portion of each company's quarterly sales. Customers use the machines to handle jobs like running e-mail systems or conducting electronic transactions. While acknowledging improvement, IDC isn't ready to declare a bull market for Intel servers. Much of the growth was driven by inexpensive models, purchased in small numbers by companies in the United States or the Asia-Pacific region that were looking to shore up their current computing capacity, IDC said. "We are not saying that the server market has broken free from the economic freeze," Vernon Turner, an IDC server analyst, said in a statement. "IT enterprises are buying only the minimum amount of incremental capacity to get the job done. But this represents the first step toward improving market conditions." Sales in Latin America, Western Europe and Japan are still slow, IDC said. Meanwhile, any revenue growth in the third and fourth quarters will serve only to offset declines earlier in the year and net a flat yearly performance for the market category. IDC predicts slow growth for the server market as a whole. The firm forecasts that server revenue will grow at a rate of 3 percent over the next five years, reaching $63.4 billion by 2006.
