Right Jonathan - I thought you were smarter than this: >>"If you check techweb.com you'll find that a standard will be set in October, well before Marshall's phony 2001 guestimate." A Standard means the world will have it the next day ?? Would you like me to post references as to that 10% by the year 2001 estimate? My God man - even the ADSL forum admits the problems that exist in implementation. Come off of it Jon-Jon. Now how many RBOCs are going to toss out most of their existing switches and run new copper in many areas unless they can command thousands of dollars for installation and hundreds of dollars per month per user? Remember my neighbor that recently retired as the Senior Engineer for SW Bell? Well sir, he's out back playing soccer with a horde of my nieces & nephew, I think I'll go give him a laugh.

,.-"-.,,.-"-.,,.-"-.,,.-"-., RE: xDSL ,.-"-.,,.-"-.,,.-"-.,,.-"-., "The group of U.S. telcos, known collectively as the Joint Procurement Consortium (Ameritech, Bell South, Pacific Bell, and Southwestern Bell), representing over 45% of the U.S. copper line market, has endorsed ADSL and is moving forward with market trials in 1997; the Consortium plans to deploy more than 2 million ADSL lines over the next 5 years." (And we're talking all flavors here including ADSL-lite.) adsl.com OK Mr. Wizard - do the math using about 300 million lines in the U.S. Now do the math as to what percentage will still be POTS.
