I think that you are very wrong about the potential for DSL. Centeralized routers/swtiches without modems will be the future for personal internet connection. Just like what we have in the company. A single fiber or T1 line can serve an entire community with switches. There will be no need for those dedicated and expensive DSL modems. Plus, there is no way that DSL can replace traditional 56k modem because of its incompatibility with conventional telephone lines. And all the local phone companies have cheap DSL services, there will not be much room for companies like COVD to expand and grow. The price of the stock has already told you the future of COVD.
