<..New story about old news......Silicon Valley xDSL...> Well, it actually has some new news in it: ".."We've seen only about a third of the service area qualifying for connectivity, rather than the 60 percent or so we anticipated," Southworth said...." "...But Southworth and Powell both said this will change now that PacBell has had enough field experience to set more liberal parameters on line qualification. "We're adjusting the line qualification numbers with the intention of getting to the 70- to 75-percent qualification level over time," Powell said..." I wonder if this means they will settle for getting slower connects.. "..One factor improving the percentage of coverage for DSL involves second line installations, where the new lines often have fewer impediments than existing lines. PacBell will install second lines "when requested," Southworth said, but it is not pushing this approach, given its interest in using DSL to leverage greater value out of existing plant...." This second line approach is what Ameritech/MSFT are using in Ann Arbor, and the lines are DEDICATED - no splitter and no voice. Another good find, Steve. Regards- Steve
