Gary, Your original statement was: "Cisco virtually owns DSL deployments" Cisco doesn't virutally own DSL deployments. Go to the www.adsl.com or Telechoice to view those stats. Your comment about sticking to the issue with networking vendors is where you are missing the point. Alcatel and Cisco are both networking vendors, while Alcatel is the only one manufacturing chips. The chip set is the most expensive part of the solution. This is one of the points, the other is their forward pricing. Alcatel and Cisco are not making money on these deployments. Every RBOC contract required forward pricing. Cisco isn't selling any DMT modems, because the chips aren't ready. Which DMT chip is Cisco using. You claim that Cisco is selling both, you must know the chip vendor. I stand by my original statement that Alcatel is the leader in ADSL deployments and Pairgain is the leader in HDSL deployments.
