I agree with the assumption that Europe (and Latin America?) will lag behind in the deployment of adsl.... they have always been a year or two behind in all new technology deployments. But - perhaps Latin America has an advantage in that they are currently upgrading old technology and can more easily implement adsl.

Regarding provisioning of adsl to businesses by rbocs... Regional ISPs are chomping at the bit to provide this sevice to local businesses, whether the rbocs want to or not. It is a great differentiator and is why they are in business. Sure - RBOCs want to continue to sell T1 and frame, but regional ISPs are eating thier lunch by providing ISDN sevices now, and will provide adsl.

Adsl will see wide scale deployment by local ISPs - it's cheaper than T1, and certainly fast enough. ISDN is a band-aid on dedicated connections and must be replaced by something - the rbocs cannot continue to allow 24x7 nailed up ISDN connections through their switches - it eats up too many resources.

The key is whether the rbocs will cooperate in the deployment by allowing co-location of adsl services to regional isp

IMHO
