Also speculation, but...

I would expect to see COVAD on fuckedcompany.com before the end of
the year.

(That is, they're not trying to migrate their business, they're
trying to back off of the overextension they've built, and they're
going to die trying.)

Broadband just isn't what it was cracked up to be for the average
human being (as opposed to the system administrator, gamer, so
forth).

I was actually thinking just last night (largely since my roommate
just moved out and I haven't replaced the TV he owned yet) how nice
it would be if that whole internet media thing ever actually took
off. I want to watch a *movie* at home, not a webcam...
