Hopefully, an objective "expert" will show up and help us with our quest for knowledge. When I was young, Dick Tracy's two-way wrist "radio" was science fiction - and far fetched. Today, I am amazed by the wireless telephones and, may I add, annoyed by the number rude weirdos who find it necessary to use them while walking down the street, during a Broadway show, riding a bus, in the waiting room of doctor's offices, etc. They usually shout into the damn things... guess they can't believe they work either. LOL

The current problem is that cable co's an send you data at an acceptable speed, however the converse is not yet the case! its much slower in the other direction.

Thanks for the response gentlemen. I'm no expert in this area, but as I read more about this it makes all the sense in the world. Phone lines give 56,000bits /sec., broadpipes can give that same info up to 200 times faster. Cable TV and satellite TV are everywhere and the means to provide this tech. With a new tech called DSL phone lines can provide this same big pipe effect. Real video without the jerky fuzzy look. Any home video from Johnny's first soccer goal to an instructional video on how grandma cooks her secret recipe. It seems that BIG COMPANIES are lining themselves up for a move in this direction. For people like me that search and peck and struggle with spelling, interactive real video will capture my attention. With AT&T buying TCI the access is there and the time seems to be right. Does the SESAME ad fall in this arena or is that a different bird? Again, thanks for the time. Have a great investing day :>) JAC
