VDSL2: 100 Mbps over Copper next...
As a residential DSL subscriber, this is exciting. But as someone who has worked in the service provider space, this article and associated references doesn't mention much about the cost of forklift upgrades, ISP ROI, connectivity bandwidth planning, and time-to-market issues -- these are very important when it comes to actual deployment.
It does leave one to imagine, however, how this plays into the overall schemes of FTTH, which would inavriably deliver the same amount of bandwidth.
Om Malik posts on his Broadband Blog:
Very High Bit Rate DSL 2 (VDSL2), a new standard is likely to be ratified by next week, making it possible for carriers to provide upto 100 megabits per second connections (both up and down) over copper lines. VDSL2 standard has been under review with the International Telecommunications Union for sometime now, and the decision on the standard could come early next week.
