Bell Atlantic to launch ADSL service

news.com

Thought this might be interesting since it mentions the cost of the new avenue of consumer connectivity to the internet. IIA's option seems much more cost effective for the average consumer.

Customers will chose among three different levels
of service. Packages including the high-speed
ADSL connection and Bell Atlantic's Internet
access service will range from $69.95 to $189.95
per month. Start-up fees will be less than $200
during introductory promotional periods.


It would seem that these kind of customers would currently have multiple lines into their home right now -- an option that would be a lot cheaper than ADSL - which is what Sprint's announcement was refering to. See dailynews.yahoo.com

Sprint's president of national integrated services, Kevin Brauer, acknowledged this dependence on ADSL.
