[ BellSouth ADSL] There is an article in our local newspaper today about the ADSL trial BellSouth is starting this week in Birmingham, AL. There's a picture of a BellSouth employee holding up a modem, but I can't make out the manufacturer. I assume it is from Alcatel. (BellSouth is in the JPC right?) Bill Smith, vice president of product commercialization at BellSouth's Atlanta headquarters is quoted several times. The paragraph I found to be the most interesting follows. This is the cheapest pricing I've seen mentioned anywhere. There was no mention of start-up costs. >>During the Birmingham trial, ADSL costs only $20 dollars per month residentially, and between $70 and $200 for businesses. When ADSL becomes available in more markets, it could cost $5 to $10 more monthly for residences, according to Bill Smith. (These costs are in addition to regular phone bills and any fee from an ISP)<< The author mentioned later in the article that an additional phone line is not required for ADSL. If these prices hold true, I think we can blow cable modems away. boogaloo
