Not dancing on the table, but at least pleased that the Bulls won. I support his kind of MVP monopoly though. As to satellite dishes, well I see them a lot in areas that I know have cable access as well, but I agree that cable does not by any means have as wide a coverage as the phone. But what it does have is density, in areas that have the disposable dollars to acquire higher speed internet access. This is really fertile cashflow for funding this growth. So I think that the potential of cable is pretty substantial.

EXPERTS SAY GERMAN LAWS ARE BLOCKING THE INTERNET'S GROWTH Berlin (dpa) - According to the American Web expert Jack Powers, the development of the Internet in Germany is being hindered by too many laws. ''The view is widespread that Europe in general is trailing behind in the Internet. In Germany in particular, the laws which regulate personal and data protection hide the danger that the country is being put at a disadvantage,'' said Powers in an interview with the German news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur (dpa) on Wednesday at the Internet World trade show in Berlin. Powers leads the conference activities of U.S. Web publisher Mecklermedia which organises Internet World in 20 countries worldwide. In Powers' view, business conducted between individual companies over the Net is not in so much danger, such as electronic sales by a company to a private customer. ''Trading on the Web thrives on companies being able to adjust their offers to every customer's needs.'' In 20 years every Web page will look different according to which user accesses it. ''That will only work if customer data can be saved to a database.'' Powers named the United States as a good model: ''The government there has so far kept its fingers off the Web. This is why the American contribution to the Internet has been able to expand freely - and has become so dominant.'' ''On the other hand,'' he went on, ''it's easy to come to Europe from America and say: Do it just like us.'' ''A 'Silicon Valley teenager culture' has spread through much of the Web. It's quick, efficient, often brutal and gets its own way almost everywhere.'' o~~~ O
