Turnabout....

Why not? If the cable companies can offer internet access, traditionally a service supplied by a telco, why can't the telco's offer programming content?

Brings up an interesting question for the cable companies. What kind of plant and field upgrades will they need to make to handle increasing speed and HD programming when HD is ubiquitous?

SBC is trialing FTTP already, and has about 500 users actually getting internet via fiber.

I think it'll be an opposite situation of what was mentioned, the TV subscribers will make FTTP an economically viable option for the telco's, and with FTTP, there's more than enough room to grow.
