Sharck! Whatsup? (re: DSL)

That was old news mang. Hangin' in the B'Ward Market.... Shoulda dropped me a line me and the woman would have joined ya.

Anyhow... re: that DSL stuff... yeah Thomson has been taking most of that business. Even we have been pushing those puppies @ work instead of the regular ALA or NT stuff.

biz.yahoo.com

And NT had cut their position as well. They had about 6% of the market and were makin' headway but flip flopped between ALA and their own bandwidth. Apparently the NT modems are now 'better' technology for expansion and the ALA are ok for the phase 1 expansion up to 7Megs but nothing further. So, that said, the real problem is that DSL adoption is crap in the states. BCE.to has done a good job rollin' out here in Canada but the US (and europe, etc)... mang Cable has a stronghold.

As for the supply chain.. nothing really public right now.

Schtoink!

Re broadband: SBC is using equipment made by a Mitsubishi unit in deployment of its new network:

It seems as though the U.S./Canada may have lost its technical advantage in telco equipment.
