Things that everyone has ignored in this discussion:

- with ADSL you can only watch one TV channel at a time.
- SDSL will be expensive (see last bullet)
- DSL standards are still...well...not there
- DSL needs infrastructure upgrades as well.
- Old copper needs to be replace
- RBOC's can't figure out the service based pricing model.

Cable has infrastructure issues...but, well... they have T and deep pockets to fix them and the incentive (local market penetration) to make it happen sooner rather than later. In the meantime the RBOC's will argue about regulatory issues......
