So near the end of the day and the TAs are still on target. Does everyone still want me to post pre-open TA signals ? I may actually buy Pair when I get a buy signal.

U S West has officially moved from the trial stage to full-scale deployment of their MegaBit ADSL service offering. This has the makings of being a home run for them and ADSL if scheduled service deployment goals are achieved over the next few months. Subscriber loop distance and DLCs could present obstacles in providing the service beyond greater metro areas throughout U S West's 14-state region.

MegaBit Services will be available by the end of May as part of a more than 20-city deployment in: Phoenix, Tuscon, ARIZONA; Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, Greeley, COLORADO; Boise, IDAHO; Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester, MINNESOTA; Omaha, NEBRASKA; Salt Lake City, Provo, Orem, Kearns, Holladay, Murray, UTAH; Fargo, N.

To hook up customers, MegaBit Services provides a Cisco SpeedRunner modem that simply plugs into a customer's existing phone jack and connects to their computer. With no special wiring required, customers can work in any room with a standard phone jack. Customers also get a "one-bill" service that combines all their MegaBit Services, Internet and local phone charges on a single monthly statement. Availability, scale and timing will depend on rollout schedule, local market conditions and regulatory environments. The technology also requires that customers live within range of ADSL-equipped wire centers. U S WEST representatives will work with customers to verify availability.
