Re: ILEC's DSL Upgrade Requirements
"Some providers may be offering DSL service right now without having upgraded their COs and local loop accordingly, but when the ILECs start rolling out DSL service systematically, this is one thing they will handle carefully."
Bernard, Frank, or Thread,
Could you fill us in on the generalities of what the ILECs would be facing if there was full deployment of DSL services. I think I have a general idea of what they have to do inside the CO, but on the other side, I'm not real certain? By "other side," of the CO, I mean the side AWAY from the home and offices.
IMHO, inside the CO is very complex because of all the flavors and lack of standards DSL has. Between the CO and the home, I constantly read where the twisted copper pair has to be, "groomed." At the premises, again it's to complicated to figure out what will happen.
But the "other side," holds a great deal interest to me. I think it may be a fairly standard procedure to blast bandwidth down to the CO. So that is that part I'm very curious about. If I'm not mistaken there are some 33,000 COs around the country and I'm currently under the assumption getting them fed, with the necessary bandwidth, is a big proposition.
Thanks,
