  Somehow I find this optimistic.  Is there really such a rollout of
services?

  Take Cable modem; does it actually have the bandwidth to handle *many*
users, or is it just an option presently under-utilized that can be sold
at a performance premium until they fill it at which point congestion
sets in and performance disappears?  When that happens are there
actually plans to re-develop it with the extra trunks, nodes and
switches to expand?
