Dug [White Hot Spotlight]
>PAT>> One of the analysts (I forget which one) told me there would be an Alcatel interoperability announcement coming out saying they're interoperable with both AWRE/ADI and Amati. Actually USRX will be put in spotlight when both agreements are out. With both ALA and ADI licensing, what chance does USRX-AWRE have of ignoring them? <<<

Dug,
What is "TIA" ?
I really can't find the type of information I want as to how things will work between the above mentioned companies.
I do know that not everything is as it appears by reading the PR's. Take the USRX/AWRE "Deal??" What was said in the press:
"May 8, 1997 -- As reported a month ago on this website, U.S. Robotics
has formally announced that it licensed discrete multi-tone (DMT)
technology from Aware, Inc. for future releases of ADSL products under
development."
I'm not sure if you caught my post shortly after SuperComm '97 but at the Telechoice Symposium on ADSL, sponsored by USRX, I have one quote which I wrote down by Ron Westernik, USRX vice president of marketing for their ADSL division.
"We bought Awares IP (Intellectual Property)"
Now which DSL IP? I don't know, I guess I let my emotions over ride my quest for information, as he was so full of himself in boasting about how USRX basically had the DSL market sewed up. I just got nauseous, also at this point was signaled that the person I had been waiting to talk with from TI, Walter Chen, was now available, and I had been waiting an hour to get a moment of his time.
I should have talked to Aware's Jim Bender, but never wondered over to the Aware display.
From what I can put together from the information gathered at SuperComm, I would say IMO that USRX bought Aware's IP and plans on trying to attain the ITU ADSL standard.
Perhaps Bozo can give us a better insight into this area ?
