G.lite is here to stay
Its filterless, self installable and Covad and the Baby Bell's are in the middle to switching to it....almost done in many areas. Sooooo 1.5 max download for newer DSL is gonna be the furture....
aren't the telcos smart.

| Like I said, to remain competitive, DSL companies must not limit themselves by considering something like G.lite ok as long as they can reach a few more people at less cost.
Phone companies will start placing fiber farther into the loop thus reducing the copper loop lengths for all. When the average user has a copper loop of less than 2000 feet, G.lite won't make any sense. Anything that puts that narrowminded a limit, no matter what the convenience, will not "be here to stay". |

| I guess only time will tell. But here's is another point to this argument. Supporters of DSL have always claimed the the Baby Bells having the resources that have could repsond to market better. Change equipment on a need basis. I disagree they are more like dinosours moving very slowly and once moving in a certain direction very apt to saty in that direction. I think G.lite is the defacto standard because of this....
The choice of comunnication is based on the equipment at the CO...and in case the only thing available is G.lite. |
