Bernard: I'm curious also as to your perception of industry consolidation in the DSL space, when it is the particular space where competition, as originally envisioned by the Telecom Act of 1996, now exists. Eliminating competition through consolidation IMHO would run counter to stated FCC policy. If anything will become ferocious, it will be pricing competition. With PacBell dropping its residential DSL to $49/mo, including ISP service, the CLECs have had to respond accordingly. In my neighborhood, 38,000 ft out, the CLECs are offering IDSL. Guess who's now considering adding IDSL to their portfolio of data solutions? Questions on IDSL The CLECs are offering IDSL at a guaranteed bandwidth of 144 Kbps. Pacbell claims this IDSL is really only 128 Kbps -- that delivering a bit rate more than this is not possible over an ISDN line. I presently possess an ISDN line. What changes would a CLEC make to my line in order to deliver IDSL? Is there any benefit (cost savings) to the CLEC because my existing line is provisioned for ISDN? TIA lml
