I think it all boils down to IPTV. They want to offer video (TV) service over their new deployments of FIOS, i.e. Verizon, and they do not want to compete with others offering video content. Just like VOIP problem they have now. If others want to offer video they have to pay an additional fee to the ILEC making their product more expensive. Just like competitive DSL carriers were faced with. Cheaper and better service but with the additional ILEC tax it does not work fairly.
With the future being on-demand & downloaded video to a DVR, they do not want the low barrier of entry that the current internet offers.
I remember reading an article in Wired magazine about China developing these small bubble reactors that will be deployed all over the country. It seemed like a win win. I will have to look around the web for more info.
This is a side question but related to the universe as a whole...
What does the space for the Universe come from? The size is beyond comprehension. Okay maybe it is infinite. Well where did the space for it come from to begin with?
I still do not see how they splice the cable in sewer line and run a fiber line into a home through the sewer later. They certainly cannot send a robot up the later which is smaller and has bends, clean outs, vents, swipes, etc.
Have a minimum call out period. Say 4 to 8 hours.
You have to go in and it only takes 2 hours to get it done (including travel time) then you still get paid the minimum call period. Plus you get $100/week for carrying the pager. Or you become a salary employee and incorporate it into your pay. Only problem with this is your expected to work all time.

Speaking of...
Where did all the space for the Universe come from?
Even if it is endless, where did this vast pocket of space come from, and then where did that space come from.

CavTel is best deal going, if available in your local CO.
I love it. $25 for phone and $25 for DSL. Yes you must get phone service to get DSL.
Ideal for me would be for Google to roll out an AJAX client for talk.
So we can spread it around, like DeCSS.

I am so sick of big corporations.
Just because their businesss model is shattered by the internet, they want protection. You know what, to fn bad.
Music is falling to digital
Movies are falling to digital, their now complaining that DVD are to good that no one wants to come to movies.
Microsoft will fall to Opensource.
I love every minute of it. It is called a free market, get over it and get your shit together.
"Our peak rate of 270,147,024 kkeys/sec is equivalent to 32,504 800MHz Apple PowerBook G4 laptops or 45,998 2GHz AMD Athlon XP machines ...."
800 MHz G4 is faster crunching the keys than a 2 GHz Athlon XP
I am reading that right?
Wawa rules. End of discussion.
Only down fall maybe going public. Wawa is striving to go public with in the next year or 2.
Just as a side note:
I just got my Infocus LP335 in which supports natively 1024x768.
I now do my computer work and play my games on my wall at well over 50". pretty awesome. The picture is amazing.
