Stephen, A question for you, or anyone with the knowledge to address it. How difficult, or rather practical, is it for an ISP to use different brands of DSL equipment? Is it possible to mix product at the same point of use, or is it only really feasible at a new station? I am curious about this as I was thinking about ISPD market share. I was wondering about the advantages the competition has in the head start to market. I understand that ISPD has a more simple solution with their equipment, but was curious as to the potential impact of the incumbent effect and the inertia that sometimes the tech guys suffer from (due in part to an extremely fast technology curve as of late). Your thoughts are requested. Good Luck Thurston
