I suspect the bandwidth is 384K for present technology, but with 
compression being developed, 56K would be a good final number.  I 
also suspect the cost should be the cost of Telephone plus current 
cable rates with voice and video being integrated.  If fiber or 
coax to the home is available to all homes and businesses, there 
probably isn't any restriction on bandwidth.  THe restrictions are 
at the access points to networks and switchers and the protocols 
that will be used for transport.

THX, Gene Harlow
