Pat,
Now wait a minute, am I reading this right???
<<<The property's telephone equipment room, which acts as a concentrator, is outfitted with the RADSL modems, a Cisco Ethernet switch and Cisco 2500 Series routers to direct the data traffic between the Internet and subscribers. In each of the subscribers' units is an ADSL modem that operates with a companion ADSL system located in the telephone equipment room. A high-speed T-1 line (1.544Mbps) links the telephone equipment room to the Internet.>>>
A (as In one?) high speed T1 line (1.544Mb/s) links the telephone equipment room the the internet. On the surface this is disconcerting. Could it be a typo?? Did they really mean multiple T1 lines linked to the internet? Or, are we seeing our first choke point?
Someone help me understand how you get 1000 pounds of organic matter into a 100 pound sack. Now, I know there will not be 100 percent participation out of the 1000 possible users and they are routing packets allowing multiple users, but, 1 - T1? Not gonna work, not gonna be pretty.
I must agree that this is GTE announcement is good, but not near the level we are all hoping for.

Saw the COMDEX keynote by Slick Willie, this MF is going to aw shucks and gee whiz Netscape out of business. This J-script case nonsensative stuff is murder for Netscape.

P.S.S. Check out TKLC at mid to lower 30's in the next few weeks. Made back all my 3COM losses in last couple days.
