sorry bomber

whats wrong with westell is the lack of deployment from the rbocs.

Westell/lucent has 2 product approved for sale to bellsouth.

currently, three companies are approved for a dsl solution out of rt cabinet with bellsouth.

1) alcatel's sam 1000
2) pulsecom has a self contained box the lays on the shelf of the cabinet 1 t1 feeds 8 dsl lines. take up 1/2 a shelf and you can put 3 boxes on top of each other.
3) lucent/wstl has two approved solution. a plug and play card. and the anymedia solution

what's good about the plug and play card is it can supply dsl out of a cabinet onies and twoies at a time until the number of subscribers reach a level which justify a dslam.

it seem the RBOCs want to buy a company called pointcast to use as the digital interface. which would be great. Not the AOL deal but almost as good.

I would not expect any great things on deployment untill this summer.
