I wish I could get DSL right now! I think there is a lot of promise in DSL but don't have much specific knowledge of this company. Wireless will start to become a bigger player in connecting to the Internet. There is a lot going on there with the establishment of Rob, I believe that DSL and cable are both going to do equally well. I love my cable access. I never used DSL so cannot compare. The backbones for data have to really be expanded to handle a lot of new DSL and cable access. For example, tonight I am playing a rock station from CA on Real Audio, writing here and or reading news. I also have Newsticker runing. I am doing this on a Mac Desktop unit hooked to fast ethernet in my home. On my right is a Dell laptop hooked to the same LAN and has scrolling news. My son is using a Mac to my left to play Euchre on Playsite.com and my wife is up in an office upstairs shopping for videos at Reel.com. All four machines have their own IP address and are always online. I do not know how much bandwidth we are using as a group but I know it is significant. What happens when 50% of the households have that much bandwidth demand? Lots of business for CSCO, LU, etc. Just rambling thoughts. Glenn
