Dug, {{{{ <If Baby Bells see it the same way I do they will try to buy cables rather then spending money on the ADSL deployment.> For data only? }}}} No, 1. To stop ATT and other LD companies attempt to steal their local voice consumer and business customers 2. To have a potential to package services similar to what ATT is promissing and doing, like single billing, discounts to those who subscribes to the package which includes: local telephone, local internet access, local cellular and local cable services 3. On data side their position in this case is wait and see. If ADSL is spreading faster and is more cost effective they have an option to take this route, if cable is more cost effective, they switch in an instant.
