Thanks Marshall. Yes I do find it very interesting. Somehow I do not buy into Rod's notion that the internet is a tangent issue :)

Re: Speed Limits Folks will just have to agree to disagree on this. I've been using a cable modem since last August and I can assure you the performance improvement is both dramatic and measurable to just about any destination I visit on the net. Multi-megabyte downloads are a breeze where they formerly were agony. Real, effective bandwidth is far superior to the 56K service I used previously. Sure there are occasional traffic jams on the net at large, but once you've tasted real speed you'll never go back. You often make the point that those who haven't tried BT shouldn't throw rocks at it. The same can be said for cable modems and xDSL (though I haven't tried the latter).
