  MOTOROLA'S MILLION CABLE MODEMS
  Motorola is shipping the first of a million cable modems ordered by cable
  companies such as Time Warner, TCI and Comcast, among others.  Cable
  operators plan to charge between $25 and $40 a month for online access at
  speeds hundreds of times faster than ordinary phone lines.  Critics have
  cited problems with cable modem technology, including electrical "noise,"
  limitations on two-way transmissions, and potential user overload, but a
  Motorola VP says, "Bullfeathers, this stuff works and it's in homes." (Wall
  Street Journal 29 Apr 96 B7)
