[Hype & Hustle from England] Hi Pat, I received the notice below in my e-mail today. Analysys is sort of a English DataQuest, they sell research reports. Pat, since you're the prettiest one on the thread, I nominate you as the purchaser of this publication (only $2150) Steve :-)) p.s. Have you thought of publishing your own report? **ANALYSYS PUBLICATIONS LAUNCHES NEW REPORT ON ADSL** Intense development by vendors and in network operators' trials over the last 18 months has revolutionised the capabilities and economics of ADSL systems.ÿ In terms of affordability,features and performance,both CPE and network-operator equipment for ADSL have reached the point where limited commercial services are beginning.ÿ Market pressures are now building up for network operators to start offering ADSL broadband data services quickly.ÿ While many network operators see ADSL as at least an important competitive enabler for niche business and residential data access services,mass market ISPs and modem vendors are pressing for its wide-scale deployment to provide a basic access infrastructure for an Internet-based Information Superhighway.ÿ With costs per customer line falling to sub-USD1000 levels during 1997,stand ards issues starting to be resolved and vendors beginning to incorporate ADSL into low-cost mass market modems,1998 will be the critical year for ADSL.ÿ If early ADSL data services are successful,industry momentum should be sufficient to create a major market breakthrough and to consign voiceband modems to history for many users. An estimated 70% to 80% of the world's 700 million telephone lines are ADSL capable.ÿ The potential scope of the technology is therefore of immense significance to network operators,service providers,regulators,end users and networking vendors.ÿ Recently developed end-to-end ATM-over-ADSL systems could bring low-megabit IP/Ethernet networking into most of the homes and small businesses of the industrialised nations - with a potentially enormous impact on work patterns and telecommuting in parti cular. Analysys'new report ADSL: Megabit Internet Access Arrives provides a summary of the current state of ADSL as an aid to a deeper understanding of the associated issues.ÿ The initial survey isolates and describes key trends and developments,and examines some of their likely implications.ÿ A series of profiles provides information on a selection of ADSL technology specialists,networking and remote-access companies,local-loop vendors and major telecoms infrastructure vendors,as well as different ty pes of network operator.ÿ Finally,a series of data tables contain information on key product characteristics,network operator ADSL trials and services/applications developments,recent industry alliances,and vendor/ network operator relationships. ** REPORT CONTENTS** Preface Contents Glossary 1/ÿ THE RESURGENCE OF ADSL 2/ÿ NETWORK OPERATORS AND ADSL 2.1ÿ ADSL Data Services: Trials,Pilots and Early Commercial Services 2.2ÿ Market Pressures on Network Operators to Offer ADSL 3/ÿ INDUSTRY ACTIVITY 4/ÿ PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTS 4.1ÿ Modem and Chipset Products 4.2ÿ Network Operator Systems 5/ÿ RESOLUTION OF IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES 5.1ÿ Standards Issues 5.2ÿ Network Operator Requirements for Implementation 6/ÿ APPLICATIONS AND MARKETS 6.1ÿ Residential Broadband Interactive Multimedia 6.2ÿ High-Speed Access Data Connectivity 6.3ÿ Alternative ADSL Applications 7/ÿ ADSL ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR NETWORK OPERATORS 7.1ÿ Market Development 7.2ÿ Provisioning 7.3ÿ Marketing and Pricing 7.4ÿ Service and Regulatory Issues Annex A /ÿ xDSL Technologies and ADSL Principles Annex B/ÿ Company Profiles Annex C/ÿ ADSL CPE and Chipset Products Annex D/ÿ ADSL Trials and Services Annex E/ÿ Recent Alliances in the ADSL Industry Annex F/ÿ Network Operator/ISP Vendor Relationships YOU CAN ORDER ADSL: Megabit Internet Access Arrives at GBP 1195 /USD 2150 TODAY BY: PHONE: +44 1223 341300 FAX: +44 1223 341317 EMAIL:elizabeth.mcdonald@analysys.com CALL +44 1223 341300 TODAY FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR GO TO analysis.com I look forward to hearing from you soon.
