For My Friends in High-Speed Internet ['Broadband'] Development/Sales

My Friends/Colleagues,

Remember talking about charts like these and the opportunities they represented?:


Verizon's preferred way of looking at the broadband penetration data [from: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/04/fact-checking-verizons-ceo-on-us-broadband-awesomeness.ars]

You still working on closing the gap between X and 100% market penetration/saturation?  Wasn't building the South Korean market fun?!  Think we could recreate that success all over again somewhere else?

Those were heady days, with compatibility tests at UNH and other locations around the globe.  Remember the ice hockey game in Huntsville that shocked DSL development engineers from Fremont/San Jose, Taiwan and Israel who couldn't believe there was ice hockey in the South?  Anyone know where the great Mr. James Infusino resides now?  Sure miss the lobster and beer at Newick's or the chef-prepared meals at Il Fornaio in Palo Alto.  Maybe Jerry could retell his story about the underground bar in Tokyo (or was that in Taipei or Seoul?).

Great memories on Earth Day!  Time to get outdoors.  Y'all stop back by now, y'hear!
