I have studied on this legislation from the point of view of seeking that super-mighty application that will get the whole world to sign up for a big old fat pipe called broadband, whether it be cable, DSL, or whatever. I have studied to the point where I have gone out in the marketplace and sought my alternatives between wireless cable and DSL; made a decision; purchased my DSL; brought my DSL home; installed it myself; and had that marvelous magic moment when it actually went. And what an exciting day that was to start shipping Hank Williams over the Internet, just like I owned every one of those songs. So it is exciting, and it fits right in to an overriding belief that I have: we, Mr. Chairman, you and I, we are living over what very likely is the most exciting and the most fascinating economic revolution ever certainly in our lifetime.
