By limiting yourself to one vendor you open yourself up to stuff like this. They need more than one box manufacturer to ensure supply is sufficient.
That is the way to solve the problem. Obviously, Motorola, which lately can't do anything right, has problems building and supplying these sets to all the ISPs. The only solution is to give contracts to other builders. I am sure they can ramp up factories in China pretty quickly if several ISPs give contracts to other companies.
Why you talking about ISP when they don't offer TV?

Haven't you heard? ISPs and Cable TV and telcos are one and the same in the great TV/Data convergence.

Does AOL or MSN provide TV, or Phone I don't think so.
