If Cox is really doing this because they are threatened, then how far behind will Bellsouth be? The powers that be (Microsoft, US government, Entertainment industry) want more control over the internet for money and control purposes. 2) The move to DSL is not fun. It's more expensive. It costs to switch. And you might not live near the CO. I guess we could all go to Linux/ham radio :-) Let's see what would that bandwidth be....We could set up access points which are directly connected to the Net...sounds interesting. -- Craig Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
