[SW BELL/PAC BELL ROLLOUT]--Steve, while this is great news for Alcatel, we all must wonder what's behind GTE'S reluctance to announce their deployment, Last year in December, GTE made a big splash about their second trial with m/s in Redmond and how they were going to commercially deploy the first half of 1997. I have to believe that they were counting on MOT's coppergold to come in on schedule to make such a bold statement. Now that TI's chip appears to be at hand, and SBC has beaten them to the punch on deployment( not to mention loosing MCI), a nice press release can give their shareholders something to cheer about for a change. It wouldn't hurt our cause a bit either. By the way, any clue on what Amati's earnings might be next week? Have to believe they should come in well under the projected .16 loss on Zacks latest estimate. I'm assuming that they borrowed the 2 million from Westell to ship some modems to bc/tel,taiwan,NEC and FR/TEL. Later,

[Bells on the move] I think we're seeing a definite trend: USWest, PacBell, and now Southwest Bell. And here I thought GTE would be the first. The speeds leave something to be desired, and I wonder if they're offering the minimum in order to go out further and broaden their markets. GTE's speeds listed on their website are a bit higher on the upstream: <<<ADSL's asymmetric speeds (1.544 Mbps from the network to the end-user and 640 Kbps from the end-user to the network) will be ideal for Internet access and Web surfing, or downloading Web pages and large graphics files in just seconds.>>>> Southwest Bell FastTrak site: swbell.com Shell Oil tests SBC's ADSL: swbell.com Found along the way: phuber.com Pat
