Intel wants to sell their ProShare everywhere and ProShare needs ISDN.
I think US West figures cable modems will displace ISDN in a couple years,
so why bother especially in the "sticks" which is where their customers live.
US West has merged/bought a cable company recently and if they don't
offer phone/video/data services in their region someone else will and take
their whole market.
