Well, so far cable is only a one way street. Jeff, I am not sure what you meant by this. Who will pay? People like WCOM maybe AT&T, QWST. My guess is anyone who recognises the future and expects to profit by their insight. Economics is simple supply and demand! We have the demand. And this is why I am vested in ASND. I love the saying: "Here today gone tomorrow"! If you know the problem, why not concentrate on the solution? How are these companies going to profit if they cannot get the consumer to pay enough? I am paying $125/month for my service. Maybe I don't understand your question? If a T1 line was more affordable I would have one now. Is this your point? But, ISDN is. The bandwidth of a T1 is a joke. The cost is high too. The cable system has far more speed than a T1 and our backbone is now a T3 which is not adequate at all. An OC12 is being looked at but the cost is very high. Glenn
