Bandwidth is what costs money, not copper.
I was just saying how you could lower the cost of the ADSL loop from around $150 to $30, with both you would need to supply the IP. The idea would be that you would not just use the port for internet traffice. You would provide voice services, you would provice VOD (video on demand), and cable services (using something like I Magic TV). -- Check out the new CLEC mailing list at http://www.robotics.net/clec
