bill-- BBN no longer exists, its GTE Internetworking now. heres how it looks like it will work... GTE Inter. will work with the ILECs to get the service deployed, then be responsible for linking it into AOLs network. they will probably work the colocation issues through the CLEC. now, this contract really doesnt mean a lot for any individual DSl company. simply, i think they intend to use equipment from whichever vendor the ILECs are using. good luck to all, trey
