Date: Sun, 18 Aug 96 18:00:00 PDT From: From a very Senior person in the Computer Industry Text item: Dave, THis is the kind of idiotic forecast that discredits new technology. This person bases (partly..) the numbers on the modem market, which has nothing to do with nothing. Growth here will depend on our ability to deploy a cost effective end to end solution and for the life of me, how can we assume that they will do it at this rate, I do not understand. Given that the total installed is less then 1000, and they are certainly not yet cost effective end-to-end, this is very bad thinking. Remember, when you go from 10M to 15M in anything, at least you have proof of capability. But going from zero?.... Bah.... superficial bs. Xxx ps. I assume you wanted to know how I felt.....:)
