Re: Over-rated.

This whole site is almost all about the service delivery method of telcos, ISP's and Cable Companes. None of it matters!!! Copper, Power Line, Coax, Fiber, Wireless....who cares???

It is the application that people buy (dial tone, high-speed Internet, TV access), not the service delivery method.

The previous post is 100% correct...VoIP is over-hyped. Residential users are not screaming for VoIP...they just want a bigger bang for their buck. I don't care how the Internet access gets to my house...just as long as it's fast and reliable. I don't care how I get my TV channels (Dish, Cable, IP), as long as it works and I get ESPN.

People buy products, not technology.

That's impossible. All of the items you mentioned cannot be seperated from the technology that either delivers or displays what you speak of. So they do buy technology by default. Try putting your hand to your ear and receive a broadcast signal the next time you want to watch TV and see how well that works.

They may not care so much about the tech end of it-as any techie knows-but the two cannot be seperated.
