These subsidiaries will provide local sales and support services to digital subscriber line (DSL) service providers throughout Europe and the Pacific Rim. "As deregulation continues to open new markets throughout the world, loop management solutions will continue to play an essential role in the deployment of DSL services," said Adam Guglielmo, DSL Analyst with TeleChoice, Inc.
