>> Ed, I am curious about something. Is it possible for AOL to roll out DSL service on their own, or are they dependent on the local phone companies, whose lines they have access to, to deploy the necessary central offices and/or other communications build-up on which DSL is totally dependent, before AOL could offer their own customers DSL service? Wondering.... More about DSL in a later post.... BP<< Was their a question in there somewhere?Sounded more like you were making a speech :-).Unless AOL buys some phone companies,of course they will have to use the phone companies.Thats already well known.Phone companies=DSL,AT@T = cable.What has DSL rollout by AOL have to do with Portland vs AT@T?Enlighten me,please.Maybe I'm missing the point.
