Re: ORCTF
I have decided that LMDS is a pipe dream Where's the Pipe?
Jim,
Orckit, excellent DSL company, though they never licensed DMT Technology from Amati, most all DSL companies have, and ORCTF is using DMT.
Use this Link, click on xDSL Archive News, Search Aware. You'll get about 36 stories. This is TelChoice, the best place for xDSL news. telechoice.com
What you won't find in the Newz: Compaq is looking to buy a DSL company. They have looked at about a dozen, and traveled to Israel and checked out Orckit.
At the Money Show in Orlando (Feb.5th) during one of the luncheons I attended one guy stated CPQ might buy PairGain. But the next day I talked with Michael Murphy, (he's the one who told me Compaq visited Orckit)he thinks Compaq will buy Orckit....
You are correct, xDSL is the wave of the future. There are 750 million POTS lines in the world, and they go into your living room, bedroom, office. Heard there will be 900 million POTS by 2001.
Here's a piece I wrote on DSL on Dec. 6th 96, before I knew of LMDS and it's bandwidth, and before Bill Gates started throwing Billion$ at cable companies. techstocks.com
VDSL will be coming in the future with 52Mbps. Orckit is big here too. Harris Semiconductor 20 miles down the road, is manufacturing Orckit's VDSL chips.
Hope this helps,
