Yes, Frank, I stand corrected. I did allude to this problem in another of my posts today. It does present an obstacle and an expense, and I am ill-equipped to evaluate it on a technical basis. Nevertheless, my premise is that VDSL is capable of delivering video broadcasting. If not, I just don't think we'd be seeing SBC investing huge amounts of capital in Pronto today.

I think in the long run the fiber now being run to the RT in the neighborhoods is going to migrate to a FTTC where no subscriber is more than 1000 feet in order that the full bandwidth capabilities of VDSL be realized over the twisted pair running into the home. I also think FTTH is the optimal solution in the long run, but in established neighborhoods, which represent the lion's share of a telco's customer, it ain't gonna happen because there is a less expensive alternative that is going to available, and that alternative is VDSL.
