Re: Coms/Alcatel - ADSL. The following is a similar piece of news as posted by D. Lawrence this morning on the other thread. I think this is quite significant. The history is like this : Coms used to work quite closely with Alcatel on ADSL development, then TI came out and said they wanted to buy Alcatel. Then TI retracted and bought Awre or something like that instead. At that time I already posted the chance for Alcatel to re-partner with coms is very high. So now it seems like they are good friends again. Alcatel is agressive and a good partner to be with : "3Com, Alcatel work on DSL" By Jim Davis Staff Writer, CNET NEWS.COM April 29, 1998, 5:35 p.m. PT 3Com and Alcatel announced they have agreed to make their competing DSL (digital subscriber line) products work together. The news stands as more evidence that companies in this segment of the "broadband" market are willing to cooperate to promote the technology's growth. The idea is to make certain that customers can purchase products from a wide array of vendors with the confidence that they will interoperate, thus ensuring more competitive prices and hopefully a bigger market. news.com Mang
