'DSL Lite' to be introduced by Christmas? techweb.com At 1.5 Mbps, DSL Lite will be a big improvement over present Internet delivery to all but those owning cable modems. One likely scenario is that most PC users will migrate to DSL lite for Internet access while TV users will switch from cable and analog TV to mostly free digital VSB transmissions (at 19.2 Mbps) delivered by local broadcasters. True convergence remains a long way off for the vast majority of the 100 million US household. No?

apart from being a dedicated follower of dsl lite, with an eye to vsb solution sooner than later, i simply see an alliance with them, to the extent it does not countervail zenith commitment to broadcasting, and to the consumer, as casting their lot with eventually the dominant players in an industry which will have strange bedfellows. i honestly believe a harmony could be struck to deliver untainted content in the areas of concern to the uninitiated zenith viewer, and not always within the blur of pc/tv convergence. it will simply require creative negotiation: the reward in hardware, beyond tv, is nothing to tsk at. robert, by way of qualification, i have not thought this through in the detail i would like, and need...i mean only to offer it for debate, in its less than ideal form. thanks, randy ps you may want to peek in on the AWRE thread.
