- With all the talk about cable companies wanting to compete with LECs
- for local dial tone, I started wondering: how can a cable company
- offer dial tone, when their cable runs out from their office, with
- houses strung off it (instead of LEC wires, which form individual
- local loops with houses)? How can they keep everyone's calls
- separate? I guess they could put everyone on a different frequency,
- but that would probably use up all of the cable, and then some. Don't
- they want to leave room for TV?
