bill:>My friend doesn't perform loop qualifications. He tells me Lucent and DSC will both provide their DLC solution for a MASS deployment. Those issues that your friend is discoving will be solved by shortening the copper loop lengths. DSC and Lucent are both working on the next step of VDSL/SDV with BA. BA's ramp starts before mid-98, that's what he tell's me. The notion that BA isn't working these issue, is false. I don't think you've made that statement, but others have.<

Lucent is not used in BA territory for NGDLC, only DSC for NGDLC systems. BA has the old Series 5 and SLC 96 equipment from AT&T that does not work with RADSL. I know LU is supposedly working on Series 5 upgrades for RADSL with WSTL, but in actual field upgrades I think you'll see BA only will use DSC.

If a neighborhood is served by a DSC DLC system that has been upgraded it will be able to take the WSTL plug-in modules. That will certainly help with the extended loop reaches. The key here is how long it will take BA in reality to upgrade systems.

You are extremely lucky to be so close to a CO by virtue of a DLC system. I'd still like to know when you can get RADSL service. I'll bet not until late 1999. You let us know when you place the order, ok.
