Re: SBC, Pacific Bell, and Project Pronto Yes, this is true. There is nothing saying the CLEC's who normally put their equip in the central offices can't pay for and hook up their own remote terminals as far as I know, other than having to negotiate with the RBOCs for access (yeah I know). Besides, what would you rather have if you are more than the traditional distance from the CO, no DSL choice at all or just one choice?
The competition is not between DSL providers it is between DSL and Cable (and cable is winning big time). Try putting your cable modem equip in the cable companies offices!  |
