"My feelings are incumbents and CLECs are too concerned with it[VDSL]."

Eric- Whoops. Typo. I meant to say, "are NOT too concerned..." Sorry about that. Funny in lml's first paragraph reply to you, I believe he slipped in the same way. Hmmm..something Freudian going on in the wishful thinking department?

Back to your last posting. I'm afraid I don't know who GVN is so can offer no comments. Apparently they may be a AFC competitor with their IAD product. But I did find your ATM comments interesting.

As you may know, ATM is the telco solution to quality of service(QoS) issue required to do toll quality voice and broadcast quality video. So that is why it's important to work this into their UMC box.

Also, it's a sneaky little detail that plays into SBC's plans to do a run around the line sharing problem. SBC doesn't want to do line sharing as somewhat mandated by the Telecom Act. But there is a provision in the act, specifically rule 99-238, that says if they do....well my memory is failing me now.

Full details are on the Last Mile thread starting at:
Message 13206520 ...you'll see why it's important for the UMC to handle ATM if your read through the posts. I'm going to do a refresher myself.

IMO, ATM is going to be a rising star contrary to what a lot of Netheads think (I'm referring to the Nethead vs. the Bellhead standards battle). -MikeM(From Florida)
