That's not what we have been hearing here in other posts, and I don't claim
to know myself, that's just was the boys in the suits are saying here in DC.
The longest demonstration I saw today was 20K feet, and the connection was
under 128K in both directions. So if what they are saying is correct, and
you can't connect a customer 20 miles away (using the 5000ft to CO, and
8000ft to CO, with no penalty from CO to CO method) then I don't see how
ADSL is going to be a feasible solution outside of the densely populated
metropolitan areas. If it will work like that, and the sales boys don't
know what they're talking about (I know, I know) then we'd all better start
looking for the solution we're going to implement!
