The wild west of DSL (David Strom) -- "I don't think DSL will go away or even decline. But DSL is losing the battle for mind share because of several factors. First, because of the spectacular rise and fall of Rhythms and Northpoint, many corporate customers are reluctant to get involved with the technology purely on the basis of corporate stability. Second, DSL service costs more than most cable modem access, making it a difficult sell to home consumers. Third, it isn't as rock-solid as ISDN or leased line technologies, and I have heard of several corporate IT managers who are again considering the higher cost of these lines over DSL because they want reliable network suppliers."
