New Research Report From the IEC Examines the Opportunities Of DSL CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 27, 2000--Recent estimates indicate that the installed base of ADSL lines will grow to nearly 1 million by the end of 2000, with the compound annual growth rate of DSL for small businesses alone predicted to average more than 400% through 2002. (The resulting 610,000 commercial lines will produce more than $634 million in revenue.) Also by 2002, it is estimated that the overall domestic market for DSL will total more than 6 million lines generating nearly $5.5 billion dollars. To help network operators meet the challenges and opportunities of DSL head on, the International Engineering Consortium has published the DSL Comprehensive Report 2000. This in-depth resource is designed to help service providers and customers understand the implementation and deployment of DSL technology and how it can best benefit their network services. Written by industry professionals at the forefront of DSL development, the DSL Comprehensive Report 2000 examines the technology hurdles and marketing strategies involved in successful DSL rollout. Issues such as loop testing, network maintenance, service provisioning, and economic drivers of DSL are examined at length. By providing a range of perspectives on the promise and reality of DSL in service-provider networks, the DSL Comprehensive Report 2000 is a critical resource for any communications company hoping to profit from the evolving, unbundling local loop. The report offers insightful analysis of the following: - DSL deployment opportunities for CLECs and ISPs - Concrete business examples of successful applications and architectures - Future opportunities for DSL growth within the industry - The advantages and limitations of each DSL technology - The current regulatory environment surrounding the deployment of new broadband access transmission technologies - Industry perspectives on the business challenges of high-bandwidth transmissions - How DSL compares to other last-mile broadband technologies More information on the DSL Comprehensive Report 2000 may be obtained by contacting IEC Publications at +1-312-559-3730 or publications@iec.org.
