A couple questions: 

(I'm specifically interested in answers from a Rogers/Shaw/Classicom 
perspective.)

1. Although I imagine it is technically possible, will it be likely that 
anyone in my neighbourhood will be able to have a web server connected to 
their cable modem?

2. What sort of network topology is likely?  Will my street (or postal 
code area) be treated like a subnet?  ... is there any equivalent to LAN 
segment?  ... how will IP addresses be used (i.e. how will the network 
and host portions be allocated)?  How will routers be used?

Michael.
