Re: FLASH: Flash & Broadband

[Michael@BTW]

Other stats (Forrester98) have 37% of internet connected homes using

broadband by 2003.


I have never seen _any_ stat saying that '70%' of people who could have it

would not want it, in fact most of the stats I've seen say the reverse, most

people seem to want it as soon as they know its available. Where did you get

your stats from?


Even the low end DSL speeds of 184-250kbs are about 3-4x better service for

less than 2x the price (we get a steady 500-1500kbs off of PacBell ADSL

here, for 40$ a month;-). At 500kbs, full screen video is not a problem

(except for lack of well designed/interesting content).


and on that note:
