AHHAHA: Re: << It works, but it won't support the future and it supports the present only at a cost that isn't competitive nor can it be made ubiquitous. DSL always has holes in its area coverage. The only technological advancement that will be coming for most of the 21st century will be improvements in the fiber waveguides or in the methods of signal compression.>>

Does this mean that WCOM may have to change its backbone infrastructure; and what about the long term (2-3 years) impact, if any, on AOL???

Secondly, what is the hang up with TCI regarding the service and quicker implementation of cable modems???? management or glitches in the current network architecture???

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Telco's have very little incentive to push DSL, while
cable providers have almost every reason to provide
cable modem services to get into the internet and telephony
services.

Now telco's have to move to offer DSL, only due to potential
threat from cable modem. If there were no cable modem
access available, I bet deployment of DSL would have
been more behind. Very little to do w/ each tech.
itself.
