Re: AFCI as a DSL Play (Indirect)

" I would add...(indirectly) AFCI, since DLC deployment goes together with DSL deployment."

Bernard,
In reading up some more on DSL, I'm slightly confused (my usual DSL Due Diligence state).

Now if I'm not mistaken, somewhere around 20% of US homes are accessed via DLC equipment already. So this means an ILEC (or a data CLEC) would have to put the DSLAMs in those cabinets if they wanted to deploy to that 20% of the marketplace.

But why would an ILEC want to purchase more DLCs when they cause headaches for DSL deployments? I guess I don't understand why DLCs are necessary for DSL deployment. It means DSLAMs have to go in the cabinet and it seems like it would be easier to put them in the COs.

BTW, even though I don't understand it, I see that GTE installed a nice shiny new DLC cabinet (I think it's a DLC) next to those telephone pole thingys I've mentioned in the past. GTE poured a nice little concrete slab next to the shiny canister thingys. Then mounted a cabinet that looks just like:
afc.com

I've missed them a couple of times opening it up and working on it. One of these days, while walking by, I'll catch them and look inside to get some product labels.
Thanks,
MikeM(From Florida)
