Robert, I completely agree. I think both these companies are shooting themselves in the foot by not standardizing. They are forcing ISPs to put off buying decisions because the demand for 56K technology is stagnant because nobody is buying based on lack of standards. IF there were standards, end user prices would come down and therefore there would be more 56K modems in the home, driving ISP demand to implement more 56K modem ports and therefore driving upgrades in Access concentrators from both Ascend and 3Com. By not forcing standardization these two companies are leaving the door open for competition from next generation access concentrator companies. STUPID. The collective idiots at Rockwell/Lucent/3Com need to pull their collective heads out and get a breath of air.
