Tuesday's top stories Lucent plans DSL push Compiled by CBS MarketWatch NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Lucent Technologies Inc. is expected Tuesday to unveil a system that allows phone companies to deploy multiple forms of "digital subscriber line" technology, which boosts the capacity of traditional copper telephone lines. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Lucent (LU: news, msgs) technology could enable a phone company to serve different segments of the market -- large corporations, small businesses and consumers -- using one system. Digital subscriber line, or DSL, allows consumers to surf the Internet at high speeds using their existing phone lines. Some versions, aimed primarily at business customers, offer very high speeds. Lower-cost alternatives aimed at consumers offer speeds of about 256 kilobits a second, or nearly five times faster than traditional high-speed modems, which operate at 56.6 kilobits a second.
