Any thought on the huge number of insider shares flooding into the market? What's going to be the effect? How much more buying power will it take to raise the stock price?

Glenn, how do you like your cable modem so far? I like unlimited access. If they charge me $x per megabits, I'd be uncomfortable surfing because I have no idea how huge the bill might get. And if I disagree on the amount, who has the burden of proof? Pass pass, I love my cable modem. Always connected without having to dial etc. Very fast too. There has been talk about charging by the megabyte but nothing has yet come of it. I suspect they will not charge per megabyte even though it is under discussion. The cable can handle the traffic without a problem. They need to invest once in an OC 12 and backbone bandwidth will not be an issue for quite some time. The present pricing structure should permit an OC 12 and still have decent profit for the companies involved. If metering does occur, I have no idea on whom the burden of proof rests. Software is available for the PC to measure ones bandwidth so they ought to match. Glenn
