Can you quantify you answers... "be awhile until the trials are over"..
Let me use a few quotes from Bell Atlantic... Dr. Bill Lawrence, vice president of architecture planning of the new combined Bell Atlantic, said "ADSL has become one of our major strategic programs.... The market is there, it's growing, demand is there, we have to be in front. Account control is everything." "We are rolling out, we are not in trial [mode] anymore."...... Overall, Lawrence said Bell Atlantic has "big, big thoughts for ADSL....It's aggressive." He said that Bell Atlantic would take 8-10 years to fully outfit its territory with ADSL, but that would be a logarithmic curve, with sizable penetration in the next 2-3 years. Bell Atlantic has hundreds of people just working through deployment issues.

It comes back to the term "Widespread Deployments". Westell feels it's customers are not going to lag around... if COMS feels their customers are... oh well. It sounds like the AWRE theory again.
>>> It seems the companies that have Frame Relay for voice,ATM for the backbone,and xDSL for the last mile,in one solution will be the winners. <<<<
Frame Relay... I have no idea how frame relay is getting tied into the ADSL deployments. Lets talk some more about frame relay... I don't have a real clear understanding of frame relay... can you provide additional information... until later.
PS.... Yet frame relay has a problem. There are no standards in place for the protocol above T1, and although it can work at faster speeds, companies looking for a standards-based solution are left wanting, particularly since the majority of public frame relay networks do not support this larger bandwidth. |
