Next-Gen Broadband Primer

Aaron writes "Broadband Reports has a good read on the real deal behind next generation broadband deployments. In four years: half all Verizon DSL users should have fiber, half of all SBC subscribers should have 10-20Mbps DSL, and one tenth of all BellSouth customers should have 50Mbps DSL. At the same time cable companies should begin deploying DOCSIS 3.0 technology in 2006, eventually bringing 100Mbps speeds to end users."

I'm typing this on a 56k dial up line .....

You must feel like Microsoft: everyone else is running faster, more powerful and reliable technology, while you're stuck on your sluggish, unresponsive junk.

[disclaimer: Unlike most of you, I don't hate Microsoft. Some of their products are good, I'm even writing this on XP. But hey, this is /., where every post must be qualified with an "I hate M$ as much as the next guy, but...". And in that sense, I am karma whoring. Mod this as funny and help my karma. Thank you.]
