Great quotes in that article from Nacchio and Wandrey -- "We'll be in slow mode until we can get the same return we get from wireless and DSL," Nacchio said. "I like the technology. We've got to drive the cost structure down. If that occurs, a broader deployment in key areas will occur." "We feel good about the fact that we can meet the challenge," said James Wandrey, Next Level's chief financial officer. Next Level plans to make its VDSL equipment less expensive. It's working with chipmakers Broadcom Corp. and Conexant Systems Inc. to slash the cost of its set-top boxes, the single-most expensive device used to deliver VDSL service to each subscriber. -- RP
