It didn't push my buttons, but maybe I didn't really understand some implications. Just another ripple in a tsunami of technological development. Mq

Not big. AS, the vendors are trying to find new ways to sell network infrastructure. They need to offer new sevrices which the operators can charge for, so that they can go out there, swap the boxes on the roof tops and change to new ones that support those new services. Keep in mind that if one spends say, EUSD100 in communications: mobile phone, fixed line phone, CATV, Internet supplier, how can this amount go up? Only it will go if the consumer cuts elsewhere. For instance, kids cut in confectioney to spend more in mobile phones communications. Like you said, if you spend less in traveling, you'd be spending more in CATV to stay at home. We, who work for the vendors, are looking very hard to find ways to build as cost efetive as possible. Spending less in infrastructure -steel, cables and cement- so that we can sell more electronic equipment.
