This just occurred to me,
One of the features of DSL is that you can receive telephone calls and 
be on the internet at the same time. The data to your computer is 
"shipped" on the same copper wires as your phone calls. Amazingly, they 
  can ship this data at several mega bits per second. The DSL is on the 
additional wires adjacent to your voice phone line. Same copper wires.
Here's my question:
If you were willing to give up that feature of Internet and phone calls 
at the same time, why can't we have multi-megabit dial up?
