For example, last week RBC Capital Markets released a report (http://www.rbc.com/newsroom/20060810tv.html) showing interest in IPTV due to the ability to watch content you want, when you want it. When will we see some interesting offerings like customized TV channels be rolled out?

I live outside the Tucson, AZ city limits, and don’t even have DSL or cable access, so what do you think my chances will be of ever getting fiber in my area?

WiMax would probably not help either, as I would practically require a whole 40Meg backhaul path just for myself.
