It will become very ubiquitous and get cheaper. It's almost like there's a parallel world to what we've all experienced as we've watched the microprocessor and computer development over the past couple of decades. Microprocessors continue to become smaller, more powerful and cheaper. Bandwidth will get bigger, more ubiquitous and cheaper. People want it.

Bandwidth will get bigger, more ubiquitous and cheaper. If you back away from bandwidth and how it gets brought to market, there are a huge number of players in the access market, companies that are selling access to the web in various platforms. It's fragmented on a global basis, and it's likely to remain so because there's no one company that can get into a position where it sells a majority market share of access around the world. There are all kinds of local regulatory and legislative constraints, shifts in deregulation worldwide, that all apply in various ways to various markets, et cetera. Also, there are a number of technologies that are being applied to open up bandwidth, everything from increased modem speeds in a dial-up environment to DSL, cable, also emerging technologies in true wireless broadband.
