I don't know the answer to that. I'll post it here when I find out if someone else doesn't first.

BTW, I was in the middle of editing the previous message when the SI hammer fell upon my pen. I had intended to add that all this will inevitably lead to the re-engineering I referred to at some point. Nothing new there, but that wont be the last of it.

The more crucial challenge at this time for this thing we call "broadband" transcends this momentary disruption, relatively speaking. This disruption was inevitable, anyway. The real challenge for broadband will be for it to actually become Broadband, on a constant basis, before the flows become too great to wait out and bear, once again, which wont be all that far off into the future.

And this will require an improved design, probably centering on deeper penetrations of fiber into the neigborhood, or into the home, among other things. Unless, of course, the valve remains tightly closed on the supply spigot, for obvious reasons, some of which I've already covered here today.
