Bill C., you raise the question of equipment co-location in the LEC equipment buildings - a very complex and oft-litigated question. In general, where physcial co-location is permitted (offered by the LEC), the carrier equipment to be installed in the carrier's area of the LEC building would need to be NEBS compliant (fire safety, etc.) and as a practical matter, LEC-network compatible. There could be a technical determination, for example, that spectral energy in certain subbands would not be permitted on the LEC cable plant without substantial management, which could be found burdensome to an ISP with an idea to use an xDSL unit that potentially interferes with other LEC services.

It is not definatively obvious that ALL LEC services must be offered for resale to resellers -- note the Hundt speech two weeks ago where he noted there was a good case to be made for exceptions for advanced LEC services, especially new advanced services.

There is no easy answer to your question -- but I would expect the xDSL vendors might be the biggest help in sorting through the technical, regulatory, and economic issues facing an ISP with an idea to provide its customers with "its own" xDSL connection.
