56K standard bodes well

After months on the market, the 56K modem should become a viable consumer
product this week. To date, the 56K's sales have lagged and its performance has
been subpar -- mainly because there are two competing technologies, one from
3Com and the other from Lucent and Rockwell. Now the International
Telecommunications Union is set to resolve the compatibility problem by approving
a technology standard, probably by Friday. Brisk sales should follow -- until the
next generation of fast home Internet technology comes along.

I mentioned in Nov last year that ASND was working on OC-3 FR switches which are the first in the industry. Analysts and NW professionals think this is a killer product as is GX 550 for ATM.
