"I have been given the task of researching DSL with an eye toward investment opportunities."

Gregory,
And quite a task it is! Nothing is more confusing than DSL technologies. Not only are there so many flavors, but each flavor requires significantly different infrastructure upgrades and new hardware. Most of which is incompatible with each other. Not only that, some legacy equipment is only compatible with equipment made by the same vendor!

All the details are in a lot's of post upstream. I gave myself your same task, and put a lot of time into it and never did come up with any clear cut answers. Very few dispute Alcatel is the leader, but it's a relatively small part of their business and you have to wonder how competitive a company based in a somewhat socialist system can compete in a worldwide marketplace. But that sure doesn't keep Sweden and Finland from being wireless powerhouses.
