bill,

While you mention that DMT is the long term solution over CAP, I don't see the urgency to move away from a technology that is operational based upon speed alone?

First of all isn't the modem access speed going to be limited by the overall speed of the network? While DMT is supposed to operate at 7 mbps perhaps a lesser CAP speed will be good enough. Isn't the real issue about local loop speed in fact limited by the speed of the backbone? If so, will CAP vs DMT deployment be a less significant issue?

Unless there are other germane technical issues of why DMT has major advantages over CAP [reliability, provisioning, cross talk, market hype etc] then I don't see the big advantage of DMT vs something in production and available now.
