Intercai Paper - "What John Wants"

Overview As we move through the Information Age, the demand for broadband telecommunications is rising rapidly. So much so that it is currently running well ahead of supply. There are a number of reasons for this, one of the main ones being that the cost of installing the preferred broadband technology, DSL is very high. This paper looks at Ethernet technology as an alternative approach and shows that it has all of the attributes needed to deliver high-speed access to a waiting market at reasonable prices.
