<Granted some of the Telco's "GTE" will deploy a routed solution, but others will deploy an ATM "Cell-switched" solution. Take a look at the solution Alcatel is selling. It's much easier to track and bill your customer on usage using an ATM solution. Think of it like a telephone call... until later.>

Hi bill-

I'm afraid I didn't quite follow you. Were you addressing some point I made in the post of mine you responded to? I think I missed the connection (wouldn't be the first time).

But to offer true end-end QoS, ATM is considered essential (and would require an ATM core as well as at the edge).

To effect "dial-tone" billing as well (where the ADSL connection is not nailed up), is the essence of Netspeed's "Digital Off-Hook" approach. This can be combined with their PPP over ATM solution.

But how does this tie in to my post to JW@?

Regards-

Steve
