"And you won't pay five dollars [for a movie], you won't pay 50 cents. You'll pay 10 cents and it will return itself."

ZO and Thread- Music to my ears. You set me up with this one.<vbg> I'm wondering if Pearse Flynn was making a political statement or a technology statement? My guess was it was a technology statement that inadvertantly came out as political.

"Alcatel recently gave guidance for 4.5 - 6 million DSL lines this year"

ZO- 2.6 million deployed DSL lines are projected in USA at year end 2000. Say another .6 million in Korea...maybe another million plus total in all of Asia. So that brings it to say 4 million DSL lines in Asia and USA. I'm afraid I'm drawing a blank on European DSL stats projected. I'm of the opinion it's about 1 million(but I could be wrong). So a wild guess as to the worldwide total estimated DSL lines at year end 2000 would be 5 million lines deployed. So does Alcatel have 100% of worldwide DSL lines deployed? I don't think so.

My guess is the figure Alcatel released is for "possible" lines. In other words they shipped cabinets with the capability of doing 4.5 to 6 million lines once they are fully loaded with line cards. But of course they never ship fully loaded. As the SP signs on their DSL subs, they start filling the cabinets with line cards as needed.

Can you verify exactly what 4.5 to 6 million DSL lines mean? I'm very curious myself. All my figures are rough guesses off the top of my head. Thanks. -MikeM(From Florida)
