Michael/Jeff, re:"looks to me like Intel could be positioning itself to enter the cable modem market" Makes sense. Someone has to do something about the last mile, otherwise this is hindering deployment of full-motion video into the home. And once full-motion video gets to the home, man are PCs going to be cool. More processing, more chips, more viewers, more PC-based sales. And Intel's stock goes up. Watch TV programs from the PC. Neat. But why cable? Cable degrades with more users. Why not ADSL? Why is there the location restriction to CO on ADSL? DSL is $50/mo. in some areas. Expensive. Wish they'd change the price to $20/mo. like Jeff mentioned so more consumers buy it. Phone co. guarantees a min of 364kbs. Who's in the cable modem market? Broadcom, Stanford telecom, and Rockwell? ADSL? Last week @Home created a bizarre policy they recalled/modified. It had something to do about their efforts at making @Work distinguishable from @Home (i.e. "can't read work email on @Home" etc.) Talk about hindering high-speed connections into the home. It was so weird, they recalled the policy. Amy J
