David,

You didn't ask me but here is my two cents as I was dropping by here.

You are correct that broadband is coming and it will have a significant impact. It seems that AT&T's recent move to acquire Media One suggests that cable could be the delivery medium of choice. Broadband is a large pie and pieces will be shared among satellite, cable, enhanced phone lines, fiber-to-the-home and so forth. Remember that AT&T also owns a piece of DirecTV. In part AT&T's strategy is to cover the waterfront, which they are quite capable of doing.

I do not think that DWM is of any significance in this. In my opinion, and my opinion only, there is serious doubt as to whether any viable DWM technology even exists.

Lyle

The whole point of DWM originally was to get high speeds (6,000,000 bps) out of unmodified POTS telephone lines. IAS was never able to publicly prove that they could achieve this claim. That's what the investors were betting on, and the rest of the telecom industry has banded together to deliver high-speed data links. So, I'm not sure if DWM is even relevant any more.
