Randy; Pricing aside, do you feel the Japanese have a good architecture for the last mile? Would it adapt well from an environment that is mostly multi-dwelling units (MDU) to one which is mostly single-dwelling units? Any thoughts on good places to start for an english language speaker to learn about the Japanese broadband experience? thanks!

At the risk of sounding like a politician I will actually state that the physical/private interest topology of the fiber network in the UnitedStatesis incredibly prohibitive of the advances that you guys are talkingabout.The big picture here is table scraps to equipment manufacturers no matter how crowded the vendor meet is. There are pockets of isolated/nichesuccessand its great to see technology implemented in such ways, RFCs being drafted, etc., but jeez guys, the real issue at stake here is how in the hell we are all going to work past the bureaucratic constraints of our arguably humble positions to transparently superimpose something thatwillenable the masses to communicate and, at the same time, appease, for lackofa better word, those who would capitalize on the sheer lack of unified infrastructure. This post in itself obviates our incapacity to handle our own infrastructure, and while I believe discussing this is of the utmost importance I have to point out, first and foremost, that the highest priority is a level playing field. I know at least some of you can really understand that and I hope it drive some of your sleeping points home abitso you can wake up in the morning and get something right.life can be simple. i moved to a first world country, japan. $35/mo for real 100/100, and i could get faster, just don't need it for a couple of laptops. hope y'all are having fun in duopoly jail. randy
