Mark, when I read that article, here's the part that popped out at me: >While AOL has struck deals with several Baby Bell local phone >carriers to offer high-speed service over so-called DSL-type lines, >cable is far faster and seen as the best bet in expanding high-speed >access to a mass market. >"One of the things AOL has struggled with is how to exploit the >broadband network," said David Levy, an online analyst at Furman >Selz. It makes sense, he said, for the company to at least explore >its options. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. It took a couple of years, but the Telecommunications Act is finally beginning to produce the desired results as MSOs, RBOCs, and others build duplicative networks. Hopefully, HLIT will play a role in whatever technology AOL decides to pursue.
