Was that for ADSL, ADSL-Lite or SDSL? Sounds more like SDSL to me.

Many of the initial deployments are really targeted for small businesses and not the consumer. Real consumer deployment has by and large not occured. When it really gets going, and I don't think most will see it till year end and next year, it should be somewhere in the $40 to $60 price range according to BA and AOL. Much of the excitement in the DSL arena has now come from the realization that a single copper line can support 16 Voice lines as well as the high speed data lines (known as voice over DSL or VoDSL). This is a tremendous incentive for CLECs and even ILECs to install DSL. Most businesses are under 100 people and $1000 T1 lines are too expensive and everyone having a phone is often an impossibility. Imagine the possibilities when 1 single copper line supplies 16 IP voice lines and high speed access. There is now true economic incentive to update the copper infrastructure. I think DSL will explode faster than was previously thought possible. Westell had a series of announcements concerning this yesterday. It's stock price is a bargain in my book. All the best, Michael
