Pat: I'm still going with the theory that Bell Canada is going with a Westell/Nortel CAP based solution. I don't see an RBOC or Telco the size of BC switching line codes 1-2 months before deployments start. I still find it hard to believe that BC is going to let Alcatel into the Central Offices. Bell Canada is going to invite Alcatel, one of Nortel's main competitors, into the CO. Nortel is also pushing the QAM line code, which may eventually interoperate with the CAP.

Why would the BCTel DMT contract have any impact on the Bell Canada contract? 4 Telco's in Canada are going with a CAP based solution, which are physically closer to Bell Canada. What is the relationship between BCTel and Bell Canada?

To tell you the truth, if BC isn't one of the 3 contracts, I don't have a clue who that 3rd contract is for.

Let me also say... I could-be/have-been wrong... until later.
