When in doubt, nothing is a good thing to do.

I think we're in a bubble. But I don't have any idea when that bubble
might end. And I'm 90% certain we'll see a correction like
July-October98 sometime this year.
The real question is, does it stop there, or does it "keep on going"
in full-blown apocalyptic fury? The answer to that one, I do not know.

Several friends have Charter Communications modems. I have used them.
I was not impressed. I find that the 56k line is more than sufficient
for the work I do at home, and when I need more juice (which is very
rare right now), the T3 lines at work blow away anything a cable
modem can give us.
I don't doubt that broadband will be big. I just wonder who the
winners in the forthcoming broadband war will be. @Home has a great
advantage as a first mover, but first movers don't always win. Its
stock price leaves very little room for disappointment.
By the way, Michael Armstrong came out today and said, AT&T will not
be acquiring AOL. So we go back to defining the battle lines again...
