What is "it" after it has been deployed?? Overblown?? Design trough a committee of customers(ITU) is not a simple solution, but in the case(s) of telecommunication it has always won at the end of day. Without going into the more classic examples, but just to take one maybe end-user known, the disappearance of Bell or Racal-Vadic this or that modem, replaced first by CCITT V.series, now ITU (in 80s) Btw, some modemcard manufacturers went totally bankrupt during the transition from proprietary Kflex, etc,etc to CCITT-ITU V90 for 56k modems. (1995-96??) Sometimes the fight over dominance leads to almost mutual bancruptcy for those involved, like Rockwell-Conexant, Motorola, 3COM. (I believe even Lucent did their best??) These guys still have the commodity market quote.yahoo.com but all totally missed the wireless (DSP) market. Ilmarinen Modems were the first to implement Viterbi decoders,etc, and the coding was "invented" by a an IBM guy in switzerland, Ungerboeck.(where is IBM??) Inabilty to open up the copperwire market, R-box, for competition and DSL hasn't helped much. (My brother's kids,Hki, use one carrier for voice, another for ADSL, on the same wire, I started out with an extra pair for SDSL and an extremely small local internet provider)
