If the benefits of copper pairs has to be realized, the Baby Bells should be split. I were the FCC I would dismember the Baby Bells forcing them to constitute a new company whose sole assets were the copper pairs. From the MDF (Main Distributor Frame all the way to the customers RJ-11. Then you would have long distance operators, local operators and the retailers, the copper pair company. Is this or no future for DSL. ADSL is being slowly killed. We already have the ISDN of the new milenium. ADSL is not going to happen!!! One copper pair generate $20 a month for a the operator. They put one HDSL modem at each end and sell it as a leased line for $400. Out comes the government and mandate competition. Come on! Asking the operator to unbundle the copper pair and lease it dry to a CLEC? Those operator have commercial interest and would fight for the profits of leased line. Then we have those companies whose life depend on access technologies, and have touted them to death, who are putting all this smoke screen painting DSL bright future. And them come, in tow, the Delloro's of this world backing them up with figures to support the chimera. Those companies are champions of a sport that won't be in the next Olympic Games.
