Emile, There was a large ad in NYTimes today for BA's ADSL connection. The equipment is from 3Com. If PAIR figures into their upgrade plans, here is the size of the market (obtained from the link you provided) with my best, Seppo ------------------- Bell Atlantic/Nynex has committed to being able to serve 8,000,000 customers in 1999 with DSL, and 22,000,000 in time. In addition, with the pending purchase of GTE, they will have their own backbone. They?re deeply committed to DSL, knowing the future of the company is tied the competition for the home connection. ?We?re going to beat cable,? proclaimed Managing Director Pete Castleton to the New York Times. They offer consumer service for $49, and ADSL at 7 Meg downloads for $179. Consumers will be able to purchase service from BA, from AOL, and from other ISP's to be announced, with pricing starting at $49/month for 640K downstream to the home and 90K upstream. They have not announced their plans or pricing for business hookups yet.
