Regarding AT&T cable venture. AT&T will use this cable access, for their WorldNet customers. They are completely overloaded at the present time and are not charging many WorldNet customers, because of this latency. Ken, are you really serious about VoIP over cable? How easy would it be for someone to "tap" your phone line if it ran via cable. Anyone on the cable loop will be able to 'peek' at these voice packets. There is no physical separation between lines, so security is a nightmare. Just think of how many people get cable television without paying for it.
