Re: Of course we're falling behind...

Hell, alot of people would LOVE to have their dialup changed over to some sort of broadband option. But it ain't happened yet.

So no need to start putting the cart before the horse here. I wouldn't expect to see any type of massive fiber rollout until every penny can be had by selectively selling cable/dsl for the next decade. Maybe in some trials and high tech urban areas will fiber be avail, but don't expect fiber to be rolled out at the pace dsl/cable was 2 years ago.

Heck my brother moved into a new house 14 months ago in Florida, and i chatted with the Bellsouth Tech there installing his phone service. My brothers sub is completely wired for Fiber. But the tech said it wasn't even on the books to start rolling out a fiber trunk line into that area for another 10-15 years.
