     Dave, 
     
     THis is the kind of idiotic forecast that discredits new 
     technology. This person bases (partly..) the numbers on the modem 
     market, which has nothing to do with nothing. Growth here will 
     depend on our ability to deploy a cost effective end to end 
     solution and for the life of me, how can we assume that they will 
     do it at this rate, I do not understand. Given that the total 
     installed is less then 1000, and they are certainly not yet cost 
     effective end-to-end, this is very bad thinking. Remember, when 
     you go from 10M to 15M in anything, at least you have proof of 
     capability. But going from zero?....
     
     Bah.... superficial bs.

     ps. I assume you wanted to know how I felt.....:)
