Re: Broadband initiatives - impact to your network?

I've never claimed to be particularly bright, but I do like to  
challenge assumptions.

I meant "privately owned campuses spanning many miles."  Is that a  
WAN?  LAN?  "MAN"?  Seriously, should there really be a difference?   
If so, why must there be a difference?  Let's not forget that ADSL is  
distance limited.  Should it have ever been classified as a WAN  
technology?  Compare that to fiber-connected Ethernet, a so-called LAN  
technology that goes miles and miles.
