And if they ever offer naked DSL (whether by Court order or
otherwise), expect two tiered pricing similar to what Time-Warner
Cable (at least in NYC) does for high speed online access: $X for
cable customers with a certain minimum level of service and $[X+15]
for non-cable (and basic cable) customers.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I personally say telco has had their
chance at DSL (or rather, high speed internet) and they have blown it.
I suggest just letting the cable companies handle it henceforth if
they wish to provide it, and the various third party vendors. PAT]
