I think that I would rather put that ISDN has a plus in its switchable connectivity, that enables services like multiple point conferencing, so ISDN certainly has a place and an advantage...in some respects. For internet access or Video on Demand the fact that xDSL is point-to-point is neither a plus or minus; what is important is bandwidth and xDSL simply has more bandwidth. While choice is important.. I'm a little confused, if we just take ISDN vs. xDSL for example you are by necessity tied to some degree to the RBOC. As far as I know I can't have ISDN access unless I shell out the the RBOC. I'm still going to the CO one way or another. How it makes it to the service provider is the service providers choice, T1, T3 or what. Your ISP is either going to invest in lease fees to the RBOC for ADSL access or invest in creating an ISDN pool but in either case the means is transparent (other than bandwidth) to the user. In either case you'll have a choice of ISP and in both you'll be paying to the RBOC. If all you need or want is 128K access, than ISDN is fine or better than xDSL. If you want more bandwidth than go with xDSL Could you elaborate on the ISDN voice set? Jim
