The only problem I see with RCNC focusing on the densly populated areas is that every such company and their mother is focusing on the same. The 1 positive thing is that RCN is pushing hard with residential customers while the others are pushing with business customers.

I think that it is revealing, and it signifies the changing times in an ironic way, that back in the mid-Seventies MCI's McGowan chose the truck routes between Chicago and St. Louis to inaugurate long distance competition in this country. I know, the economic model for line of sight microwave is much different. I just thought I'd throw that in for interest. Your point is well taken. Thanks again, FrankC.
