How Verizon's FiOS Will Change the Face of the Telecom Industry

Bill,

You're right on the money. This network is gonna boggle mind of the average American in the years to come. The IT savvy of the population(read "young people"), will celebrate this. I could go into many different points from your article, which I agree with, but will touch on one point you may have left out.

Being, that there is a demux card at the side of the house, thus forming a "moat" between the WAN or network, and the house wiring, how long is it gonna be till Verizon rolls out a direct connect option between their DVR and the homeowner's PC? That would circumvent Apple's big idea of RF'ing data
between these two points.

If I were competing with Verizon, I would be worried now, and downright scared in 3 years or so.
