It was the fact that the New Orleans system has those routers that
prompted me mentioning the UBRs. I was telling Joey and the guys
about my visits to the MTC, somehow the topic of broadband and bill by
the bit came up, so I mentioned to list cost of a UBR in an effort to
give them an idea of the costs to provide cable modem service.
