What is Rhythms' differentiator in this market, which is becoming increasingly populated with DSL service providers?

Hapka: We're positioned in the high-performance market. The market today, as young as it is, is becoming segmented. There are two basic segments: pricing and performance.

We're focused on the performance segment, putting many services over a single connection. We've got the highest local loop by far--7.1 megabits per second (mbps) downstream and 1.1mbps up. Others peak out at 1mbps.

X: What services does the company offer today? Hapka: Today we offer service selection; computer backup; turnkey Internet; PBX extension; power Internet, which includes DSL and Internet access; LAN interconnection between U.S. cities; and content caching. We also now offer DHCP, which stands for dynamic host control protocol.

It assigns a few IP addresses for sharing within a company. So people can move around and access the LAN remotely without requiring them to type in configuration codes every time. I should add that we have a fully routed IP network.

It can take you directly to the Internet without ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
