[dt-telechoice and intc] hi shlomi, thanks for the note, and looking forward to h&q orctf misc info.. the "Telechoice Take" (telechoice commentary) on the dt stuff highlighted both orctf themes of adsl over isdn and fsan : "Deutsche TeleKom joins GTE in selection of Fujitsu/Orckit to support major DSL rollout. This announcement signals the first major DSL deployment on the European continent. DT's T-DSL service will also work in conjunction with Germany's installed base of ISDN lines. ADSL over ISDN is an important requirement for DSL functionality in Europe due to the large size of the installed base of ISDN. DT is also a member of the Full Service Access Network (FSAN) industry group. FSAN is focused on bringing fiber-to-the-home and fiber-to-the-cabinet to customers worldwide. The selection of Fujitsu/Orckit will allow extension of ADSL service to ONUs and OLDs in the future." xdsl.com --- also some interesting intel news this last week regarding pc architecture into which g.lite can be integrated.. apparently intc is pushing two specifications: "low-cost motherboard designs and input/output (I/O) cards"... "these specifications from Intel, (are) dubbed the Audio/Modem Riser (AMR) and Mobile Daughter Card (MDC)." g.lite is specifically mentioned: "The 46-pin connector between the motherboard and daughtercard also reserves five pins for future DSL-specific codecs. Most of these protocols are being deployed in a PC via an add-on card or stand-alone hardware, but Intel said it hopes to bring them inside the PC. Intel and others are aggressively supporting an emerging asymmetrical DSL standard called G.Lite, a technology that promises downstream bandwidths of up to 1.5 megabits per second of data via an internal modem; and a standard to link two or more PCs in home via a 1/10-Mbps Ethernet connection. " found it interesting that fujitsu is among the list of those who "... will endorse or announce products that support these specifications from Intel.." expect we'll be hearing more on this intc push in the near future, probably worth keeping an eye on... tho we're probably at least a year away from such implementations.. "Volume shipments of AMR systems are not likely until the second half of 1999, said Russ Hampsten, Intel's audio marketing manager." techweb.com techweb.com best wishes s
