DSL Deployment Question: Pi, Ski, Jeremic, MikeM, CaptSmartjack -- anyone in the know. WSTL is now part of the OPEN DSL standardization that was announced on August 7. It aims at an open plug-and-play architecture for automated configuration of DSL CPE -- to eliminate truck rolls for installation. ( xdsl.com\xDSL\15607.asp) Question -- just about every company involved in DSL that I can think of has joined the OPEN DSL initiative -- including TI, CSCO, EFNT, VRTA, WSTL, INTC, etc. --- all EXCEPT Alcatel. What is going on with Alcatel with respect to DSL? They have been the market leader. I have heard that they may be withdrawing from making their chipsets. If true, why would that be? I know they are involved in the ASAMs and the Fiber Remote deployment as well as CPE. Can anyone shed some light on what is happening with ALA and DSL deployment with respect to chipsets and Open DSL? Thanks, Michael
