Now look at this headline we have all read released the same day as the negative article I posted on the previous message:
June 12, 2000, Issue: 1117
Section: CommWeek
Aware leads group of G.Lite backers
Then we get the following yesterday and today:
Monday July 10, 5:59 am Eastern Time
Company Press Release
Copper Mountain Certifies Industry's Broadest Range of G.lite CPE Partners in Its CopperCompatible Interoperability Program
Folowed by this:
Tuesday July 11, 8:59 am Eastern Time
Company Press Release

While ADSL will be able to co-exist with cable, within the ADSL market, G.Lite will have a tough time surviving with full-rate ADSL. ``When G.Lite was introduced it looked like it had a lot of potential. Its promise of splitterless deployment, lower costs, and lower power consumption are naturally appealing,'' Funasaki said. ``However, in little over a year, full- rate ADSL has caught up considerably, offering splitterless solutions as well, at only a minimal cost premium. To this end, favor has shifted away from G.Lite, and the multimode solution available in the market will be the winner in mass market deployment.''
What a bunch of back biting going on in the sector. One group pushing G.Lite, the other group bashing it! Looks like people are trying to drive the marketplace by press releases.
