Randy asked: "who the hell can discern what is a plus, versus what is a potential negative..." It may be that after the 56K x2 verses K56FLEX battle... which set back or slowed adoption of the new 56K technology...there remains the fear of a possible repeat of a standards battle. Much has been done to prevent one...such as the formation of the UAWG, however it appears that a wait and see attitude is the status quo for the time being...at least in the minds of the large investors & institutions...IMO. From the following post... exchange2000.com Analog-to-digital migration path Several companies are focusing their efforts on integrating 56K-modem and xDSL functions on the same chip. Lucent's WildWire enables OEMs to build external and internal modems that support both 56K-analog and 1.5-Mbit/s ADSL data transmissions, according to Bob Rango, general manager of market development at Lucent's Microelectronics Group, Allentown, Pa. WildFire is a three-chip solution consisting of a DSP, ADSL codec, and analog-modem codec. The chipset supports the new V.90 analog standard, and the 1.5-Mbit/s rate is roughly the same specification proposed by the recently created Universal ADSL Working Group. However, that group has not completed work on the ADSL standard, known as G.Lite, making WildWire a nonstandard solution for now. WildWire, however, will include an upgrade path to G.Lite, Rango said. The chipset will sell for $69 in 10,000s. A read of the whole article is well worth the time...DataQuest has some interesting comments, and there is information explaining how within separate market areas...different technologies are and may be installed or made available.
