but michael, as one preacher to another, i'll remind you of something you already know. as the u.s. has hit the tipping point on broadband, there will be no turning back now, just a bigger rush. and increased speed is one of those things that computer users take for granted _very_quickly_, to the point we _forget_entirely_ the old and slow. so it will be increasingly difficult to talk with people if we don't consider their newly-changed mindset... to my mind, that means that an "either/or" approach will come to be rejected by them without consideration. far better, in my opinion, to recognize the new reality, and combine accommodation to the high-speed present enjoyed by _some_ people with an "awareness campaign" constantly reminding them that some people aren't so lucky. in other words, replace "either/or" with "both", and then tailor the sermon to the matter of the "choice" between 'em. you and i both know that, when push comes to shove, the "choice" is crystal-clear, so there's no need to artificially constrain the options that people entertain. argue against your enemies, not with your friends... -bowerbird
