The Strategic Incorporated report seems rather naive:

1. Why would the failure of ethernet be the worst in the
companies history?  So you plug a ringnet behind Star.  Big deal.

2. Why is broadband superior to baseband?  For a LAN (local
area network) it seems better to run two cables and not mix
technologies.

3. Ungermann/Bass has announced a broadband ethernet anyway.
So you can have your cable TV and send data over it too.
