How about a couple more rabbit holes to dig into: Try to find the intersection between: DSL Forum TR-101 unbundling Bell replacing tunnel switching with AGAS 802.3AH PBB QinQ NENA i2 Wiremap update protocol LIS SIP Location Conveyance PIDF-LO transmission over the NENA i2 V0 interface Carrying the originating DSLAM port over the RADIUS accounting interface Bitstream unbundling of the multicast plane Denial of access to subloop unbundling Phase II costing of DSL access and capping mark-ups to 15% Capping the mark-up for conditional-essential services Throttling DPI Net Neutrality Dark fibre forbearance Phase out of non-essential services You mix this alphabet soup, eat a good portion daily - this keeps your brain sharp and the doctor away We're trying to figure out how the next 10 years of DSL unbundling will be done, such as that it will support prioritized VoIP, triple play and E-9-1-1, and how ISPs will be able to secure their own DSL aggregation out of dark fibre being available at tariffed rates.

This has been a very informative thread. All sorts of acronyms to research and so forth. :)
The mention of TR-101 took me down another rabbit hole, and I discovered http://www.dslforum.org/trlist/trlist.php.
Very interesting info.
