Re: [PLUG] Linksys and DSL
|
Where this gets complicated is when the DSLAM is at a RT. It is my
understanding that Verizon is installing DSLAM's at RT's but NOT allowing
competitors to do likewise. Since a large and growing number of customers
get service via RT's the competition is being squashed in those cases.
While there is PUC ordered competition on the voice side there is non on
data (DSL) services.
