Yes, this is most cool. 2Mbit to 4Mbit bandwidth to the home over existing telephone wires. Your point is right on. It does take longer than in the past for new technologies to root. It's mainly due to the colossal task of getting everyone to agree on a standard and support it. There's a similar lag in the industry right now on a number of fronts which seriously helps the attractiveness of the sub-zero technology base. A lot of these things are going to gel concurrently and we'll see some amazing must have functionality by mid 1999 IMO. I have no desire to talk to my computer either nor would I want it in the cubicle environment. There are however, many applications outside of this scenario where hands free operation will open up entirely new usage models. Therefore, It will be. MEATHEAD
