| reply to Doctor Olds Re: ADSL2? Get Fiber to the Home so we can intera
SBC has been trying to push fiber to homes for speeds of 25mbps. Their initial project was for 5 years but today they pressure FCC, they do not want to share the cable, and then they would deploy it in 2 or 3 years. ( »story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=s···95573503 ) I believe once our internet speed goes up to 25mpbs we will have no need for telephone lines or TV sets. Internet will link all of the world for free, well at the mothly fee of your ISP. I think SBC is very smart on doing this, the first one to get the fiber to homes will get that monthly fee, hence will secure their share in the market. Because if TELCOs don´t look ahead they will die, just take a look at what SKYPE ( »www.skype.com plans are. Then imagine a little higher once we get WiMAX ( »www.wimaxforum.org/about ) instead of Wi-FI. Then will just have wireless tools all over our uniforms. The cars will have internet, the watch will have internet, it will all be linked. I predict about 5 years for this to come true, just watch and see. |
