GTE and AOL In DSL Deal? Check It Out
Copyright c 1998 TeleChoice, Inc.
April 1, 1998 -- The San Jose Mercury News is
running a column that leaks a potential AOL/GTE
deal that the paper claims will be announced shortly.
Adam Lashinsky writes that AOL and GTE will
launch DSL service in five cities for as little as $50
per month. The service would be available in San
Francisco, Phoenix, Boston, Washington, D.C., and
Birmingham, Ala., says Lashinsky, quoting an
unnamed financial analyst source.
TeleChoice believes that this is out of the GTE
Internetworking group, formerly BBN. TeleChoice
also believes that GTE ILEC is on the verge of its
long-awaited announcement. We expect an
announcement of the ILEC DSL plans within the next
two weeks, and that the vendor selection will send
some waves through Wall Street. More on this later.
