Out of interest, do you know the percentage of people in the US who can

Here in the UK it's over 90% rising to 95% by 2017.

up. They're talking about eventually having 1Gbps.

competing with commercial enterprises.

the telecom companies to install it when the telecom companies won't do
it because of the high cost to particular properties.
