"Lucent Speeds ADSL Availability
Lucent Technologies plans to integrate ADSL (Advanced Digital Subscriber Line) capabilities into its widely installed SLC-2000 and SLC Series 5 local-carrier telco digital loop systems. The company said it expects the new system to become generally available by early next year. The technology will let local carriers offer ADSL over standard copper phone lines at speeds of up to 6 Mbps upstream and 1 Mbps downstream. Lucent said its SLC systems currently serve about 25 million phone lines in the United States."

"GlobeSpan Technologies Inc. said it plans to offer an even faster version of its Rate Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line (RADSL) technology sometime in mid-1997, while cutting prices on its existing product.
The former AT&T Paradyne unit has also signed up its first ISP, Chicago's InterAccess, which has started to roll out service to subscribers, executives said last week.
An emerging technology that greatly speeds up Net access, RADSL--and its cousin, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL)--have been in testing around the world.
Many companies, including Uunet Canada, IBM, Microsoft and Pacific Bell, have been testing the technology with consumers.
GlobeSpan seems to have an early lead in the market. The company has already shipped 35,000 DSL transceivers, which it says have been at the core of 90 percent of ADSL modems used in trials."
