Re: Why do people crap on news like this?
Because they are throwing in stuff like everyone else, since the day of broadband has come out. Why? Cause thats what it is, just talk so far.
Everyone would be happy if this was possible of course, but everyone has a nice laugh at there expensive so far.

There are a lot of different announcements on the future of broadband. Seems like there have been about 10 different announements actually. I take each one lightly, but I also know that there are people working on making things faster for the home. You are right, it is just talk so far, but it is still news. I like to be able to follow the technology personally. Just like all the advancements you hear about the battle against AIDS, SARS, and cancer. No cure yet, but I don't mind hearing about the battle and how it is going. Same thing when it comes to the speed of the internet, IPv6, wireless access, DOCSIS 2.0, and so on.
I remember a time when broadband was promoted about 10 years ago and no one believed it was true. In fact, a lot of people laughed when the concept of fast data pipe to the home was announced. I am not saying that this technology would be implemented, but merely saying to keep an open mind. That is how new technology and advances in existing technology happen.
