An increase of competition like the SBC/Pac Bell offering today is actually good for ATHM. It can give ATHM's management a wake up call. Somebody else can also offer something at the same price or less. As a ATHM holder, I really wish they can speed up their deployment. What matters in this game is who grab the customers faster, not really what technology is better. If people decide to buy something simply judging on its technology, Machintosh would've replaced IBM PC. Speaking of technology alone, I feel Cable is superior to xDSL due to its ease in marrying TV programing with Internet access, maybe later VoIP. Whilest it's much more difficult for SBC or the alikes to marry TV programming with the Web access. But if TCI/AT&T and ATHM doesn't catch up fast to fight its competitors, then a inferior technology like xDSL would prevail. Jing
