Of course the following is already out of date, but... Following are prices that telcos are said to be charging for their initial dsl deployments, presently, as derived from a survey performed by a magazine. Initial Commercial xDSL Pricing (Source: America's Network magazine, January 1, 1998) Provider Location Speeds* Install$ Monthly$ ISP xDSL Eq (down/up) Incl?

Does Paradyne's announcement state that all of Pair's business with US West will be substituted? How much of Pair's business does USW represent? One comment: Most of these prices will have to come down sharply if they are going to penetrate the home and individual market. best to all js
