- On a technical point: cable modems being piloted in California right
- now offer a real data-transfer rate of 2.5 Mbs (megabits/second). A
- rate of 30Mbs for a modem costing $300 is forecast for 1997.
-
- This translates to 3 megabytes per second so I don't think that a
- payroll application will be too large to download each time.
