Of course, this is orthogonal to xDSL; the same economies of scale would apply with T-1 local loops. Seems to me that for the RBOCs, the big disadvantage of xDSL is losing all those fat, high-margin T-1 local loop fees.
Two problems with this... 1) If the RBOCs try to keep status quo with the T1 situation, the cable companies may eventually eat the RBOCs' lunch. 2) The RBOCs can deploy fewer HDSL-based T1s due to Near-End cross-Talk (NEXT) concerns... ADSL doesn't have a NEXT problem so they can deploy many more ADSL loops than HDSL loops in the same cable sheath... In this case, volume will win over keeping prices high... --zawada Paul J.
