NTT field tests xDSL, Part ii
The test areas were selected to have a variety of diameters and ages of telephone
cables laid in those wards and cities to collect data taken in various environments.
The degrees to which ISDN lines are clustered in the selected wards and cities also
vary.

The xDSL modems using several methods from several manufacturers will be used for
the test. The two types of xDSL technology, carrierless amplitude/phase modulation
and discrete multi tone, will be both tested. NTT also is considering testing the
transmission of asynchronous transfer mode data over an ADSL line.

The access fee for xDSL will be free during the field test. For the test, NTT will lend
xDSL modems to users. The access fee for the Internet connection will be set by
Internet service providers including NTT. The test fee is likely to be lower than the
regular fee.

Information such as Internet connection fees for the test, choices of speeds and
providers in each ward and city is likely to be disclosed in mid January 1998.
