[56K standards and The ZAX]

Your comment brought one of Dr. Seuss's stories to mind:

cs.duke.edu

"Look here, now!" the North-Going Zax said, "I say!
You are blocking my path. You are right in my way.
I'm a North-Going Zax and I always go north.
Get out of my way, now, and let me go forth!"

"Who's in whose way?" snapped the South-Going Zax.
"I always go south, making south-going tracks.
So you're in MY way! And I ask you to move
And let me go south in my south-going groove."

And you're absolutely right when you say:

>> The demand for bandwith is going to be so intense that business and the public is going to go with the first available technology that is
effective and affordable.>>>

I think this may involve taking equipment losses up front just as the cable companies are clearly doing. For several years they've been pulling back b/c of fiber costs. Now they're advertising cut-throat prices, claiming they can make a profit. Well, who's paying the piper????

You have to love Dr. Seuss. Talk about understanding human nature.

Cheers!
