CITS Commentary
Dr. W. Curtiss Priest

This is an interesting move down the "middle."  Zenith, LANCity and 
others have announced cable modems running at 10 mbps price at $500 (
plus service charges)

This is a lower bandwidth (presumably lower priced) and may be
strong competition for ISDN


CABLE & PHONE NET ACCESS
Rogers Communications will link home PCs  to the Internet via cable in a
Toronto suburb.  Known as "Rogers Wave," the service will provide Internet
connections at 500 Kbps, compared with today's standard of 28.8 Kbps
without interfering with TV cable connections. (Toronto Star 28 Nov 95 C1)
