Bravo to the author of the Free Net Concept posting!!!
You are absolutely right!!! the idea that fiber to the home is necessary
to benefit from the network is HOG WASH! A few of the RBOCs are beginning
to deliver T-1 over co-ax for gosh sake! The catch 22 is that it only
works if you are within 6,000 feet of a central office. The distance they
say will expand rapidly. And with ordinary modem hitting 38,400 baud one
can do some pretty niffty things.
