<.. if telcos deploy CDSL-like technology, they'll only make matters worse by facilitating people to tie up circuits for extended periods...> There are typically 4 telephone lines connected to each line card on the PSTN. If more than 25% of a CO's territory picks up there phone at the same time, you'll get a circuit busy. IF instead you ADD a CDSL line card modem that also handles voice (if this is what ROK plans on doing, and as I have said, I am not yet clear on this), then it seems you won't be burdening the existing ratio. <CDSL looks penny-wise, pound-foolish to me. > Why? CDSL allows 56K (prob Flex), will ALSO plug interchangeably into any DSLAM, and doesn't require a truck roll (that may NOT result in a useable ADSL connection afterward). You would likely ALSO get closer to spec consistently with a 1Mbps modem than you would on a 6 Mbps modem. Plus, until backbone routing is upgraded to intelligent switching (many years), you won't see throughput of higher speed ADSL, anyway. See additionally: techstocks.com Steve
