Westell damage control? If WSTL gets left out of any GTE deployment does anyone think that the Seamans PR about his retirement could be there way to distance there self's from the past? A kind of "preemptive damage control". I kinda feel that if WSTL was going to be part of any GTE deployment insiders would have already driven the price up well past current levels on much higher volume. Also, ORCTF never did license from Amati/TI. Given just that piece of information alone I doubt that GTE would choose to go with them and face possible litigation. Given the timing of ORCTF's PR it does appear that they are trying to make it seem as if they are the ones that GTE has chosen for deployment though. Smoke and mirrors ?

[ AOL news ] ...AOL's DSL services will be provided by GTE Internetworking, which will be the go-between for AOL and the regional phone companies providing the DSL service, including Bell Atlantic and GTE ..... ...The initial field trials will take place in Birmingham, Alabama; Phoenix, Arizona; California's San Francisco Bay Area; the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington; and Redmond, Washington. Because regional telephone providers use different DSL equipment and multiple standards in different cities, AOL will be working with a number of providers, the company said. news.com ??GTE Internetworking?? Why is the GTE-ILEC doing the job of the GTE-CLEC division? I was under the impression the CLEC would work the colocation of equipment issues, not the ILEC. Is AOL going to work with each RBOC or is GTE? If it's GTE, where is the GTE-CLEC division with their 16 additional sites in 1998? Does the GTE-Internetworking group report to the CLEC division? Let me highlight the phrase... GTE Internetworking, which will be the go-between for AOL and the regional phone companies providing the DSL service, including Bell Atlantic and GTE. That sounds like the GTE-CLEC working colocation with Bell Atlantic and GTE-ILEC. GTE's ADSL strategy "ILEC/CLEC" is going to depend on the FCC... until later.
