I seems that Sprint's ION DSL announcement was nothing more that a PR department with a hyperactive thyroid. From Network Fusion, and definitely worth a read: Sprint's super-efficient network capable of converging voice and data traffic over a single broadband pipe won't likely be coming to your doorstep anytime soon. DocFinder: 7950 nwfusion.com In language that at times directly contradicted statements by executives at the ION launch last month, Sprint lawyers said they were "gravely concerned" about the carrier's ability to obtain digital subscriber line (DSL) local loops needed to reach businesses and homes. ION, announced with much fanfare in June, is Sprint's new combined local and long-distance architecture (see story, NW, June 8, page 1). The network is designed to concentrate a user's voice, data and Internet traffic through an ATM device on the customer premises.
