At Long Last, There Are Signs Of a Broadband Revolution

Tech Week - January 29, 1999

By JASON FRY and TIMOTHY HANRAHAN
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL INTERACTIVE EDITION

PAUL SOMERSON, the columnist for "PC Computing," got off one of the best lines in recent memory a couple of months back: "Will DSL ever reach my home? Will next year's most popular baby name be Slobodan?"

What's even funnier, though, is that it looks like 1999 really will be the year that DSL -- or the cable modem, its rival high-speed solution -- arrives for a substantial number of actual consumers.

There are more and more rollout schedules, more and more deals offering free modems, and more and more discounts on installation. There are high-profile alliances that make you sit up and take notice, and Internet acquisitions made with an eye toward a broadband world. In short, there is hope -- something high-bandwidth dreamers had just about given up.
