IPATMers,

My two cents worth of thought on this now dead thread...

I have heard that the next killer-app for ATM will be the internet.  
Sounds good.  This should include internet from home.  I would hope that 
the telcos, the cablecos, the utilcos would provide me with access to the 
internet via ATM on my PC.  This could be at flat-costs depending on the 
MCR I ask for when subscribing to the service.  There are many bandwidth 
mongers for whom NISDN is not enough (BTW, I still use a 2400 baud modem).  
ATM could enable ISPs to provide very flexible data-rate vs. pricing 
options.  Is this happening now?

Regards,

DS
