I believe so. Since there are non-telco companies building those sites right now: Northpoint, Covad and Rhythms. According to AccessLan: Today a CLEC, which is not using ADSL, use T1s over HDSL leased from the ILEC. It pays the ILEC to co-locate their equipment at the C.O. to connect the T1 back to their POP. A leased T1 costs the CLEC $200 to $800 per month per line. The money goes to the ILEC, which owns the local loop. Just packaging (using HDSL) a line that generated $22 a month -for POTS- it can generate these $200 to $800 per month per line. ILECs make money on the CLEC's operations. With ADSL a P-CLEC can leverage their ADSL technology and pay, usually, $20 to $40 for an unbundled copper pair.
