...kind of like when General Motors and one of the oil companies bought
the electric rail system that ran around  L.A.  They bought it and  then
ran it out of buisiness so people in L.A. would be forced to buy cars.
...this kind of thing goes on all the time.  Wouldn't be surprised a bit
if what Dave says is the unadulterated truth.

I ask this before... what is the status of the fiber optics cable system.
Does anyone know?  IBM may just be waiting it out ...it would be a boon
for them and their mainframes.  ...you know  ...speed of digital info  
only limited by the hardware  ...terminals and mainframes everywhere.
