Every six months the DSL bogey shows up again. Frankly, I'm tired of beating that dead horse. I'll only say that companies like SBC are making a major error that will cost them to the extent of negative earnings if they get significantly involved in DSL. The DSL strategy is just a loss leader trying to keep the cable movement from forcing them to open their local markets. I have read here that PacBell is lowering their charge for 256/64 k service by $10/mo. This isn't their idea. They got this by command from SBC. At this price DSL is internally break even without factoring in the exponentially rising costs to linear scale. We won't even discuss the POTS net that breaks under the load from multiclient home LAN. Neither will we discuss new rulings from the FCC forcing the miscreants back into the process of forced local market opening which is developing under cable.

ATHM is prepared for the great DSL revolution. They bought Northpoint for that reason, but I can see the new posters here aren't going to do the necessary work and read this thread to find out about this or why EDSEL is one of the great technological shams yet pushed by failed American tech companies. Every six months. Now let me get out my bogey list and see what is due next.
