The TecForum is chaired by Jeff Waldhunter, Director of Technology & Engineering for Bell Atlantic. The Forum will emphasize the necessity of DSL for the Information Highway to realize its full potential. The full utilization of copper bandwidth is presently the most viable way for making affordable high-speed data capability available to all. An overview of the various DSL technologies will be presented by several speakers with an explanation of why this technology is now feasible and cost effective. Mr. Zionts will address the issue from the customer premises viewpoint. In order for DSL to be deployed rapidly for millions of subscribers, there is a need for low cost interoperable customer premises equipment (CPE). Analog Modems provide a model. They are available from many vendors. They are price competitive and interoperable. Mr. Zionts will explore what it takes for CPEs to become as convenient, affordable and interoperable...the key to putting DSL on the desktop.
