Fact ,that MCI is going to test LU product does not mean thay are going to buy.Major telecoms always are testing a good product, but thay will buy the one which is the best for them.

Chris, here is what LU said when thay introduced a new IP switch: ''There is a network revolution at hand and we intend to lead it,'' said Rich McGinn, chairman and CEO, Lucent Technologies. ''The issue for our customers is how to offer the same quality of service in the data world as we do in the voice world -- service that is rich in features and reliability and that can generate new revenues. Lucent understands better than anyone how the data and voice worlds must work together and we are developing the next-generation architectures to lead this revolution.'' If you have followed NN for the last 2-3 years, then you will recognized that LU is trinig to copy NN's strategy.Yes LU is huge, so do NN-Siemens.There is a big gap is data networking technology between NN-Siemens-3Com and LU and I doubt that LU is able to achived within months what took NN-Siemens two years.Major telecoms are not going to wait.The receant example -big contract from ATT for NN, BUT NOT FOR LU.

Chris -- Were there any remarks specific to NN? If so, could you post? Thanks. ADSL report: newsalert.com <<<4.2 Million Residential xDSL Access By 2002 - Study Newsbytes - May 28, 1998 10:55 FRAMINGHAM, MASSACHUSETTS, U.S.A., 1998 MAY 28 (NB) -- By Sami Menefee, Newsbytes. IDC/Link's latest Residential Telecommunications Services research report says today's least used telecom service will soon be the most popular and will generate the most revenues for residential phone service providers. The market research company is talking about ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) service. The study says that, driven by the growing popularity of voice and data transfer, ADSL will reach 4.2 million homes by 2002. The report, titled "DSL Technologies: 1997 Residential Market Assessment and Forecast," examines four major areas where home-use Internet surfers will most likely make their online connection - all in the DSL (digital subscriber lines) arena. The four current xDSL types are HDSL/SDSL (high-speed digital subscriber line/single-line DSL), IDSL (ISDN or integrated services digital network DSL), VDSL (very-high-data-rate DSL) and ADSL (asymmetric DSL). Of these, ADSL has received the most media attention recently because of numerous trials now in progress. All US regional phone companies have said they plan to roll out ADSL service in their territories over the coming few years. HDSL has been used during the past four years to support T1 telecommunication access, but the report says the other types of DSL service are now beginning to develop faster. The IDC report points out that at present, ADSL is still in a marketing and technical trial stage because the regional Bell operating companies, independent local exchange carriers and Internet service providers (ISPs) do not have all the necessary equipment to support an immediate launch of this voice-capable data service. However, the survey reveals that in the next four years, about 4.2 million ADSL access connections will account for 37.9 percent of total phone revenues from residential subscribers. The report profiled both ISPs and facilities-based providers of DSL connections. IDC/Link has also conducted studies on the DSL forecast for small and medium-sized corporate use.
