Excellent piece. I work with a company that supplies 10gb connections to properties to enable our
IPTV/Net/VOIP services. It's amazing how much you can pump over that connection. "The future's so
bright you gotta wear shades" ! I constantly chaff over my pitiful current ATT Uverse connection that runs
about 750K down and 128K up (versus it's touted 6mb/1mb speed). To loosely paraphrase Atlas, give me
enough bandwidth and I could travel to the stars.........
