RE: Talking about Bandwidth

[Chris Jester (CTS Technical)]

Yes that may be true, however because the majority of the people on the

internet today are on older connections, what I mean is 14.4, 28.8 and 33.6

connection file size is still a big issue. In fact the ADSL is not even

available in some areas here in Washington and Cable modems are not

available in all areas. I can't get on to cable modem until next year when

they upgrade the existing cable lines. So please don't expect everyone is

going to have fast connection.

	Recently many people were talking about movie sizes being too large

at 500k

	etc. Currently this is true for most people, BUT, the situation is

beggining

	to change in many places in the country. For example here in

Colorado and

	Arizonia as well, the local RBOC-US Worst ...er... West

	is starting up their ADSL

	Here is a price comparison of their services. Please note that the

$40.00

	per moth price includes use of the ADSL modem IF you use US Worst

for your

	ISP (an additional 19.95 for unlimited access)

	from http://www.uswest.com/com/customers/interprise/dsl/pricing.html

in case

	you want more info.


	The following prices are based on a one year contract. Pricing state

to

	state may vary.  Product Per

	month fee Initial

	set-up fee ATM OAL*

	Per Month        Install


	MegaLine (256k) $40 $110 n/a n/a

	MegaOffice (512k) $62.40 $110 n/a n/a

	MegaBusiness (768k) $76.80 $110 n/a n/a


	MegaBit:

	   1 M down 1 M up  $120 $110 n/a n/a

	   4 M down 1 M up $480 $110 n/a n/a

	   7 M down 1 M up $840 $110 n/a n/a


	MegaCentral:

	   1.544 Mbps $455 $500 ** n/a

	   3 Mbps $967 $500 $674.50 $840.27

	   Each additional

	   3 Mbps + $239

	to previous fee $500 n/a n/a


	MegaPak $59.95 $199*** n/a n/a




	

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

	----

	In addition to the above charges, the MegaLine, MegaOffice,

MegaBusiness and

	MegaBit customers will need to buy a Netspeed Modem or PCI card from

	U S WEST for their computer. The price for this ranges from $199 to

$299.


	MegaBit Services provide users with a fast-paced connection to

either a

	corporate LAN or the Internet. Both the data and voice traffic

travel on the

	same pair of telephone wires so the user may use the phone while

working on

	the computer. The customer's phone service remains the same and the

customer

	continues to pay the current charges for residential or business

phone

	service. The pricing of MegaBit Services does not include pricing of

phone

	service.

	*Asynchronous Transfer Mode Optical Access Link � Certain parameters

need to

	be met. Contact your sales representative for further information.


	**** so folks the issue of bandwidth may not be that much of a deal

if your

	target market consists of folks with speed. However, if you are

addressing

	the larger universal market, well then it is.

	Perhaps a dual Flash site based upon speed?
