Re: Now Who's Laughing? You might be right, in your estimation of "The Future." Ten years is a long time, especially in Technology, and 2 or 3 years ago AT&T U-Verse was looking pretty good, but now with High Speed Data, Phone, and HDTV do you really think all this can be squeezed into your home on a pair of Copper Wires? AT&T is already talking about Bonding, and this has to be done over good Copper. So now you are talking about replacing all the existing Copper. Does this make good economic sense?
You talk about the Big Picture and what is The Future, and even though we are going to be moving slow, we don't have enough capacity now in most homes for what people want. Steaming High Definition Video from Servers is already here, and what is needed for this? Right.....Fiber! |
