No one said dsl can't work in the marketplace (as interim for fiber deployments). Look at AT&T's u-verse dsl strategy. Much of that network will have to place nodes at critical places to repeat the signal. We also know that for much of the network, the PREFERRED medium is FIBER to the node supported by dsl conversion. WHY? Even AT&T knows that if they went 100% copper, they'd have to charge what the market would laugh them into and beyond bankruptcy. BTW, last mile is usually a contradiction.. for many subscribers they are MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more than 1 mile from a node or central office. In some cases 20 miles or MORE (RURAL). That is why crappy cable companies like comcast are the only "micro broadband" game in town. Back to the lab drawing board and a few more Fosters mugs.
