Nat, re:"But here are the few points to ponder:..." Hi Nat, I agree, especially with point 5. There has been a promise of broadband with cable for many years and each year is the year of the rollout. Also, it is a closed market. I see lots of xDSL companies here in Los Angeles... it is a vibrant alive market. The cable market is closed and non-competitive, and so far non-existent for data services. Boradband on cable has been hype and promise for many years and cable has not ever been in a technologically competitive landscape and cable has never been tweaked... it is a staid, closed utility. Phone lines, on the other hand, have been tweaked for data like a nice dough of kneaded bread. Remember when 9.6K was blazingly fast? I don't think xDSL is the end of the road for copper speed increases. JMO Jon :)
