RE: Is hotspot going to replace PPPoE

I never once said you had to use PPPoE. Just said it made following the rules much easier. And I really couldn't care if PPPoE stays or not, but I do care when a company pushing another product can't seem to back up it's statements.

Hello Bob,

You said that these were FCC rules that everyone followed. When did they
start, are you changing your story now? The death of the Covad and such

was not so long ago for some people!

Anyway, the point is that you haven't proved that you have to use pppoe to
satisfy the regulators -- is that what you are trying to say. And it looks
like there are plenty of examples of that not happening. Maybe you can't
be objective if you are so close to pppoe (run a pppoe site).

John
