[maxing out] * <.. it's that the the outside plant capacity is maxxed-out> So in those "no-growth" areas where there is no room to add another telco PSTN switch (necessary for lifeline POTS), then there is certainly no room for a DSLAM. * "outside plant" means the copper hanging from the telephone poles. this is happening in seattle. there are neighborhoods where the limiting factor is the availability of a copper pair. the majority of second-lines are for modems; certainly the ones that are tying up circuits for extended periods. ADSL allows the telco to deliver better internet plus standard voice over a single line with higher overall revenue. the second line is freed up for new residences or other second-line use. as i understand it, part of the reason for getting data off the voice network is that it isn't architected for long-lived circuits or to carry the extended spectrum of technologies like CDSL. telcos have been complaining about the degradation caused by modems... wouldn't CDSL just make it 20 times worse? mark
