Re: Non-Bias ADSL reporting i would like to for once read an article on ADSL that was adequetely researched by the author and did not conclude that AWRE was the best investment based on PR from AWRE<G>. good luck to all, trey Trey, I agree with you 100%! An investor should always Be'Aware. I have always found Loring Wirbel to be a non-bias reporter for ADSL, Plus he writes numerous ADSL articles. If you go to www.techweb.com use Advance Search, use ADSL as the search, and Loring as the Author You'll find responsible ADSL Reporting, at least I hope you will view him this way. Here is One Example of Good Coverage, just a few clips, see entire article for numerous Vendor coverage. I on the other hand fully admit, I'm slightly bias...... ;^) I WANT MY DMT / G.DMT JW@KSC P.S. For newbies QAM = CAP ;^) Various ADSL, SDSL and VDSL products and factions move forward -- Supercomm: little harmony for fractious DSLs Loring Wirbel June 98 QAM also figures into Northern Telecom's plans. Nortel and Microsoft Corp. announced that they will jointly move to the Universal ADSL Working Group's standards but will promote Nortel's QAM-based Megabit Modem as an interim step. Cameron Myhrvold, Microsoft's vice president for the Internet customer unit, explained that it might be several quarters before a true standard for splitterless ADSL emerges from the International Tele-communications Union's G.lite working group. In the meantime, DSP specialists with existing full-rate ADSL chip sets are raking in orders. TI, for one, has scored contracts from Siemens A.G. and Diamond Multimedia for an ADSL chip set designed with subsidiary Amati Communications Inc. techweb.com

I left the newspaper at the office today so I can't be sure, however I believe that the article does not really discuss specific companies. Instead, as I recall, it focuses mainly on the race for acceptance, eventual market share, and potential hurdles each technology faces. It is a rather general article that probably won't provide anyone on this thread with too much surprising info. It does discuss how consumers will be able to determine if their location qualifies for working ADSL via color grids each retail outlet will provide,to cut down on the number of people who buy the product, only to find out they cannot get the service due to distance restrictions. As I recall, the article (and related graph) does indicate that ADSL will be the big winner, especially in the long term, and how the regional bells are about to roll this technology out aggressively in the future. I was surprised (pleasantly) that the graph indicated such a wide discrepancy between the eventual winner between ADSL and cable, since it seems there are a wide range of opnions on this subject and that, in truth, the verdict is still out.
