Telerama will be around and has been around... Believe me, they are on the 
edge always... one step ahead... not to mention they run a lean ship... no 
fancy shirts and power lunches...

As for DSL, its no secret, the margins stink... but if we get rid of the 
warez and other borderline content, most people wouldn't consume much.... 
Ok and let us not forget the tariffs which give Bell Cos an unfair and 
non-competitive  advantage..
