Good info. But what is your take on the following excerpt from a recent Forbes article, anyone? "Nevertheless, people who live in certain areas shouldn't be holding their breath for broadband. For example, areas that have newer central offices, plants and infrastructures can expect to get it sooner, but it may take a while for other areas, specifically large cities with older infrastructures. For example, RCN (RCNC), a Manhattan-based cable provider, has recently started offering high-speed access--but not to all its buildings. While the company also plans to roll out service in Boston, as well as in parts of New Jersey, people who live in buildings that had been serviced by Liberty Cable, a wireless cable provider that RCN bought in 1997, can only get an inferior one-way cable hook up."
