Does this not highlight a wider issue? I realise that dialup is hardly 'cutting edge' but there are providers out there with a significant number of dialup customers still on the books. Surely there's still a market for (what should be by now) a straightforward, well known piece of kit? In parts of the world where broadband is not ubiquitous and dialup remains useful as a Plan-B or is simply the only choice (for whatever reason), what are the practical choices now? Whilst folks may not be fielding 'new' dialup kit, I dare say that we're going to be continuing to see dialup customers on the books for the next 5 years, perhaps a lot longer? That's a whole product lifespan... On Tue, May 11, 2010 5:03 am, Bill Fehring wrote:
