JK, re: Are there cases where, in telecomms, companies have missed the boat completely? There are lots of examples, JK.

Siemens missed the boat completely in GSM. ERICY and NOK stole the thunder. ( I'll not mention that ALA missed the boat (miserably) as well just not have zbyslaw owczarczyk come after me). Siemens is trying hard to catch up. Microsoft missed the Internet and played catch up.

Enough of examples: My theory that those companies lost the train because they kept breathing their own air. They like to hear their own voices. They like the hard facts AND neglete the 'soft facts'.

'Soft facts' it is what I call my opinions about ADSL being Kaputt.

Edsel stories: The MAN Metropilitan Area Networks that never made it with DQBD FDDI

We have now:
Edsels: came to life but never made it MAN
DOA (Dead On Arrival): G.Lite
Dead but forgot to lay down (ADSL): Assymetrical, home user oriented, with CO co-located DSLAM
