XDSL News is a monthly newsletter devoted to worldwide developments in digital subscriber line technologies, including ADSL, RDSL, SDSL, VDSL and HDSL. Many technologies have been developed to increase the bandwidth and capabilities of the telephone network, but the "last mile" remains a bottleneck. With nearly 650 million copper access lines worldwide, there is a tremendous potential for a technology that adds megabits of bandwidth to a simple twisted pair telephone line. ADSL technology can provide that bandwidth and is poised to make a significant impact on the telecommunications market over the next five years. Telephone companies, CAPs, ISPs and other telecom providers are all examining ADSL for a variety of data and video services, making ADSL the most exciting new technology in the market today.
