256kbps by 2010??

Wow, They have a goal of having 100 of the Largest Cities serviced with 256 kbps? by 2010?
Someone tell me what they where thinking?

That must mean by 2020, we should be back on 56k.

What do you mean? Didn't you get the memo, Time Warner says customers want to pay more and get less. We are just lacking the proper indoctrination education.

If you read a little further, you would have seen they had the same goals for "all other cities" and for all rural areas as well in the same timeframe. It was just that they broke down ALL their recommendations in to those 3 categories.

Ah I misunderstood, I would hope the 256 kps is for areas where it is either Dial-Up or Satellite As, If I ever had to use less then what I have now (3 Mb Cable) I'd go crazy! but if all you ever had was Dial Up, then it would be an inprovment

256Kbps by 2010 for the 100 Largest Cities?!
Hmmmm?!?

They really know to set the bar high, don't they?
Lowest speed broadband that I see marketed is 768Kbps.

Maybe, they're in a time warp, and are living in 1999.
