This is how I see it - Broadband deployments (cable, XDSL) are being spearheaded by cable companies.

Ahahha,

Good points. Regarding the above maybe I should have phrased it better. What I meant was that by deploying HFC BB the cable companies are forcing the phone companies along the BB path with their XDSL offerings.

ahhaha,

fool and is repeating the disaster of Brown under Ma
Bell.
I agree with everything you said in your post, however, I have reservation about the above. I have the feeling that Mr Armstrong is willing to deal. I am saying this because of his dealing and handling of the UMG situation, ie playing multiple hands simultaneously. I thought he and his team, did superb. I would guess, he is capable of handling this one as well.
