Hi Mike,

>> Have no idea what's going on unless Concentric/Covad just don't think they've got any competition to worry about in the business niche, and are content to let Pac Bell/SBC provide ADSL to the home market. Anybody have an idea? <

It's probably got a lot to do with economies of s[c]ale and the projected time frames used by each in recovering their investments in infrastructure.

COVAD is reselling incumbent's wire, at a premium, or they are, in other words, inluding it in a bundled service. Also, and this may be more important, COVAD must make money, since they don't have anything else subsidizing them to fall back on... oops! did I say the wrong thing here? And they will be catering to the business class first.

BTW, what are the other differences between the two scenarios that you can think of, besides the speed and the number of IP addresses? Does the remote office get two static addresses, or are the two users in fact going to share only one? Using a router and DHCP perahaps? Please explain. Thanks.

Regards, Frank_C.
