Some articles say that the cable modem is the wave of the future because of its speed Cable is still a broadcast medium. The main attraction to the internet is that the consumer can access what they want, not just what is broadcast. Cable (and satellite) will always have a problem of scalability, that is to say when the service gets popular the bandwidth is quickly used up. That is not to say it won't be pretty popular for a while until sufficient bandwidth is available through other channels. TP (Who watches too many broadcasts on cable)

RE: Cable modem venue My September/October Technology Review includes an interview with a young man who just received both bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering. He received a number of honors, including the highest honor given to an MIT student. The good news: After visiting with family and backpacing through Europe, he will be moving to Silicon Valley, working for Cisco Systems where he'll be working in a new division that focuses on cable modem technology. It's nice to know that Cisco is hiring the brightest young minds. Chambers believes in intellectual acquisitions. Maybe this is one more great alliance. dmf
