reg. testing of ADSL inm the Netherlands

I just read an article in a Dutch Technical Paper that as of the end of November until the 25th of may 1998 Dutch telecom (KPN-Netherlands) 1000 households will be included in the test.
I talked to the maneger that organizes the test and he said that if the test results are positive all of the Netherlands will be a market for KPN.
KPN is a former state company that became a public company only a few years ago. They still own about 95% of the provate household market in the Netherlands (a total of probably 6 to 8 million connections).
Oke, the products used for this test were made by a company from Israel, called something like Orkit. I don't know them, maybe any of you do. The KPN guy told me that they were only used for testing and no deals were yet made with any other company for one of the most important reasons to choose for a specific ADSL supplier would be speed and volume of delivery the supplier can make.

I keep you posted.
If any of you have specific questions I can maybe put them to KPN.
