Very informative post. Seems to me the current 3 mile from CO limitation is significant. Any technology which extends that has got to win. Anybody know what company(s) is providing MTU and DLC solutions? "According to Leifur, the central office model will dominate packet over DSL deployment, but multi-tenant unit (MTU) and digital loop carrier (DLC) deployments will soon account for a significant portion of overall packet over DSL deployments. In a central office deployment, DSL signals run on the copper loops connecting a central office to businesses. With MTU, the DSL link is created on the in-building wiring within an office building or apartment building. MTU overcomes issues related to distance and is rapidly gaining momentum. DLCs increase the number of customers served by existing copper facilities (wire pairs) by concentrating several analog or digital lines at a remote location and then transmitting the concentrated signal via a fiber-optic line back to the central office.
