He has mentioned to me, "what if I formed an CLEC/ISP and started leasing dry copper from CitsTel to provide DSL myself?" at which point he was very much over my head in ability to answer.
He would need to lease space in the CO for a DSLAM, then stick a router there with a connection to an ISP somewhere. Not too difficult if the telco will cooperate. However, line quality could be a big issue. Different types of DSL have different tolerances to things like bridged taps and loading coils. No idea on cost, but I doubt what he's talking about will be cheap without getting lots of subscribers. -Jon ----------------------------------------------------------------- * Jon Green * "Life's a dance * * jcgreen@netins.net * you learn as you go" * * Finger for Geek Code/PGP * * * #include "std_disclaimer.h" * http://users.quadrunner.com/jon * -------------------------------------------------------------------------
