Re: DSLAM's Per the FCC TRO Remand order UNE-L are here to stay in partnership with the un-bundling of DSL from the Voice line per the California order and backed up by the FCC in the merger approvals for Verizon/MCI and SBC/ATT Covad has a chance to live another day. UNE-L are Loops leased from any Carrier ILEC or CLEC in a CO. Some CLECs are buying other CLECs capacity to get around the ILEC at a rate that is a little better than Bells. That is the reason the Level3 bought WillTel in Chapter 11. Both are CLECs with WillTell giving Level3 access to the local market the Level3 lacked across the US. And Yes Covad gets its power from the CO that is apart of Co-location. Check out a interconnection agreement sometime at your local Public utility commission. It spells out how the world is interconnected no matter if it is voice or data. The difference is the rates paid for origination,termination or transport. |
