OK, so...

Isn't this basically POTS to the CO, digitize there, and then send it over the Internet rather than a private network?

Re: OK, so...

If it's hitting Covad's network, it will probably be on an internal network for the most part.

Re: OK, so...

My question would be, "Who is responsible for line maintenance from the phone to the dslam?"

The Bells. They own it. Covad will still rent the last mile copper. Part of the monthly fee they pay is for maintenance.

There is no distance limitations. You will never lose power (unless power in the CO is gone) and you have the same functionality as most VoIP providers (ie find/follow me etc.) if the user has a compter.

No matter what they try, they cannot get rid of the local loop.... talk about job security....
