Chuck in Kansas...today is July 23, Frank said we would be over most of the nation in September...so I'm concluding from that that we may hear more carriers coming onboard....

also....there are many companies that have emerged from bankruptcy successfully...it is too bad you didn't live in Boston and see how viable RCN is in this and the surrounding areas....I have it. It works. It works well. And it is all over my neighborhood....you need to measure progress not past in these bankruptcy situations....

To me RCN was a great first start...it is a cable company to contend with
