TCG?  Where is their backbone?  I've never seen them mentioned as
currently providing backbone provisioning.  I'm always following
down routes on the net.  It must be some secret DOD thing or something.
I sure haven't seen any TCG stuff.

Cable Modems?  2000 people on an Ethernet?  With any one person able
to flood it?  Whew, don't sound so hot to me.  Cable Companies,
charging how much?  Hey, I'd like to know if it is the real deal.


I'd like to think that the future is now.  I think though, that it is 
in a few years, maybe further.
