Not quite dead, maybe comatose (Score 1)

Broadband? dead? That's quite unlikely with the kind of demand that it's getting. It's way too much of a good product to die off, the demand is still there, modem technology has not gotten better recently, people still want to get on DSL or cable modems. If the demand is still there, there's a very good market. Just because @HOME fails because their business practices and product policies suck doesn't mean that the market is taken down with it, despite them owning most of it at the moment. Someone will come up to replace them.
