Hi Mike:

re: "What Went Wrong"

FWIW, as I have been educated in "new" telecom over the past 2 years from various sources, I have learned that USW really didn't know what it was doing, really didn't have a rational, consistent strategy. And I think the referenced article implies this, as Nacchio intends to "clean house" on the various strategies "experimented" by USW, many of which have failed.

Query: What kind of telco rolls out 3 different flavors of DSL? Also, if you will recall, USW was a big proponent of G.lite. Look what happened to that. If you recall any of my posts two years back I has questioned why anyone would move from DMT to G.lite. IMHO, as I stated then, it was too little, too late. Who would want to move to less bandwidth at the sake of few extra thousand feet of distance.

Needless to say, Trujillo implemented a poor & inconsistent strategy that made little sense to a novice like myself. The article indicates that his own hierarchy was too timid to advise him properly.

Nevertheless, it is surprising to see VDSL on the top of the USW chopping list. Perhaps it is very expensive for Q to administer, and Nacchio has "other" visions of where he wants to take Q in this area. Maybe he's a FTTH kind of guy. Just a guess.
