Scott I recall some predictions over the last two or three years stating the numbers of people expected to connect to the 'Net. What I've noticed is when they get beyond six months their accuracy goes to heck. My guess is for higher numbers and I'd say those stated there for DSL are very low for the given time period. Let's face it...a year ago one would ask if you were connected to the Internet or were thinking about it...NOW...we ask when are you getting connected. It will be as common as the telephone or TV is in the home, office and auto and the slow connect speeds will not be acceptable...IMO.

Scott, after looking at the deal AT&T and MSFT have just completed it becomes apparent that AOL is pretty much left without cable broadband customer access. This leaves two near term avenues for them to pursue as I see it...a legal ruling forcing AT&T to provide them the use of their cable. That was attempted and went against AOL so I don't think there is much hope in the courts. The other is DSL. But we knew that didn't we? <gg>
