John --

Thanks for posting the CAP vs. DMT article.

The guy from Ameritech says:

"If we proliferate two different technologies, we will have interoperability problems," said Tom Starr, a member of the senior
technical staff at Ameritech, in Chicago, and chairman of the T1E1.4 working group, which creates xDSL standards. "It is the biggest threat to ADSL. We need to get the industry to converge on one interoperable format."

This conflicts with what the IBM director on the same trial told me. According to him the two technologies can reside side-by-side in the central office and that most likely CAP will be deployed near-term, with DMT following. They'll be priced according to speed. You want more bandwidth with less interference, you'll pay slightly more. For businesses and anyone else downloading huge files, the higher speeds will more than offset the higher price.

I think the author's price estimates are old. I don't know anyone quoting $3000 anymore.

Regards,

Pat
