Very quiet so I thought I would post this for reading.

Subj: [xDSL] DSL on the move

What's your take on this in light of the recent announcement by Compaq, Intel and Microsoft?

I think it means that DSL is ready for prime time!
And its now time for the RBOC's to get off of their collective behinds
and roll out DSL country-wide before wireless and cable get a toe hold.
Bottom line:
Paradyne's fantastic new MVL system, combined with the rapid progress
being made on all DSL fronts by other DSL venders, combined with major
UAWG DSL - standardization/consumer vender acceptance - progress,
combined with new major IP backbone roll-outs by Qwest, Williams, and
IXC, combined with the motivating growing threat of cable and wirelss
competition for the local - loop, combined with the impending rapid
spread of VPN solutions which will make dedicated Internet connections
usable and compelling, means DSL will be screaming by the end of '98!

Let the DSL times roll!

Hey Knip,
With all this stuff commin' out, does this make sense?
I feel like: A guy in front of a big tent and I got 35 SNAKE OIL salesmen in front of me! ALL, tellin' me they got the cure!
Now some are sellin' poison, some are sellin' stuff that'll make me feel better, and a few got stuff that works!
I'm so confused!! I don't know weather to crap or wind my wrist watch!!!!!!!
Hangin in,
Jay
PS. I will keep readin' all the articles even though I know: As soon as I think I understand what's going on, THEY'LL CHANGE IT!!!!!!
