from Verizon on DSL: * Verizon added 135,000 DSL lines in the third quarter and ended the period with approximately 975,000 lines in service -- a 625,000-line year-over-year increase. Average installation intervals have been cut in half, resulting in improved customer satisfaction. * On Oct. 17, Verizon announced it had surpassed a total of 1 million DSL customers, representing 85 percent year-to-date growth, and the company is targeting 1.2 to 1.3 million DSL subscribers by year-end. * Approximately 32.8 million of Verizon's 62.0 million access lines nationwide are DSL-qualified. Verizon recently extended the reach of its DSL service to an additional 3.5 million lines, as the company continues to add capacity in its central offices to meet continued strong demand. Approximately 2,050 central offices are equipped to provide DSL. * Also on Oct. 17, Verizon Online, the company's Internet service provider, unveiled a fourth-quarter sales promotion for DSL service, including a three-month introductory rate of $29.95 per month. The promotion also includes a free modem, installation kit and digital camera. Few weeks ago Bell South reported its numbers and looks like 600k line this year, is up from 215k at the end of 2000 IS WELL ON TRACK. So the only thing which is dead is your predictions. Except SBC slowdown (Even my dog knows that regulation rather then demand is effecting SBC), all others VZ, BLS DT, Korea, China, are installing DSL with 85-170% rate depending on carrier. Right now many employers are asking employee to work at home. In such case how they are going to get cheap access to fast data? May be via overhype wirelss!!!!!??????? Show me the $ elmo

Czech mobile operators snub 3G bidding round PRAGUE, Oct 30 (Reuters) - All three Czech mobile operators said on Tuesday they would not participate in the repeated first round of a process to allocate third-generation mobile phone licences, citing high price and other tough conditions. The decisions were in line with expectations and deal another blow to the government hoping to use 3G proceeds to fill budget gaps. The country's leading operator Eurotel, a joint venture of Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ - news) and AT&T Wireless (NYSE:T - news), declined to say if the refusal automatically means it would enter the second round of the process, an auction. ``The management came to this resolution mainly due to the excessive price of the licence,'' Eurotel said in a statement, adding that a number of unspecified regulatory issues were also seen as an obstacle. The other two operators, Deutsche Telekom's RadioMobil and TIW (Toronto:TIW.TO - news) unit Cesky Mobil, said they would also not bid in the first round. Cesky Mobil said it would enter the auction, slated for November. Industry experts expect licences to be cheaper in the auction process than they would be under any agreement struck in the first phase of the process. There are three licences to be sold off and the incumbent operators do not expect any outside rivals to enter the bidding process. The government has seen hopes of a windfall from the licences vanish amid the global slump in the telecoms sector, but still wants to raise 10 billion crowns ($270 million) this year and further 10 billion over several years. It originally required 6.67 billion crowns per licence to be paid this year, more than double what the operators saw as its present value. Czech Republic, with a population of 10.3 million, has almost six million mobile users, the highest percentage among the four largest EU-candidate countries.

re:I told it was dead over a year ago. you have been talking about dead DSL which is growing at VZ with 85% Y/%, Bell South 180%, DT over 100%, ( see Q reports) now you are claiming that you were right ?(LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!) SBC is hightly regulated , and this is a reason for slower growth, 15% or so. How you can explain high growth during current economic condition at other carriers? Talk is cheap..... Without Sep.11 and economy effect, even regulated SBC would show much higher growth then 15%. May be you would like to compare (see today,s VZ report) DSL (85%Y/Y) and wireless growth( 20% range) before you make statement. Were is you prediction about 3G hype..........? Forgot about that ?!!!!!! Zo
