I think I said that in the part of my post you did not quote ;-)

Yes, I am starting to see many websites (too many, IMHO) that say 
things like "optimized for broadband". Reputable companies (both 
clients and designers) either require a load-spec at 56k or offer 
multi-versions of their sites.

For example, P&G has a strict modem-based page load spec, and they 
also require their sites to work on Mac/PC IE/Netscape... being a 
consumer based company EVERYONE is a potential customer.  Of course, 
they are not doing it FOR you modem users, they just want to sell you 
soap, TP, towels, diapers, coffee, juice, makeup, dish detergent, 
laundry products, yada, yada...
