>they werent tightlipped last fall.

From this old moth-balled clipping it appears ADSL in Europe is primarily Alcatel and too a much lesser extent Fujitsu/Orkitt. Or course things could have changed since then. I sense WSTL's game plan is cumbersome but large. They've been very good this year at avoiding the hype. Could this be the result of self-assurance? One hopes.....

U.K. BT May Tie With Japan
Fujitsu, France Alcatel: Report

AP-Dow Jones News Service

LONDON -- British Telecommunications PLC (BTY) is
poised to announce a ground-breaking alliance with
Japan's Fujitsu and France's Alcatel that will revolutionize
its traditional phone network and allow it to carry video
and internet services on enhanced telephone lines.

According to an article in The Sunday Telegraph
newspaper, BT has been negotiating with the two
equipment makers for more than a year and could
announce the link-up later this month.

Under the terms of the deal, the newspaper said, Fujitsu
and Alcatel will supply equipment to introduce
Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Loops (ADSL) into its
phone network. These transform ordinary phone lines into
high performance data links capable of transmitting more
than 200 television channels.

BT is expected to begin rolling out the ADSL technology
next spring, in time to take advantage of the television
decoders produced by British Interactive Broadcasting, its
joint venture with British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC
(BSY).

The three companies are expected to invest an initial 500
million GBP in the ADSL system. However, under terms
of the deal, Fujitsu and Alcatel will retain ownership of the
equipment and lease it to BT.
