  3. Quote from the President “This country needs a national goal for broadband technology, for the spread of broadband technology. We ought to have a universal, affordable access for broadband technology by the year 2007, and then we ought to make sure as soon as possible thereafter, (that) consumers have got plenty of choices when it comes to purchasing the broadband carrier.” George W. Bush 3/26/04 Speech in Farmington, N.M.

  4. FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RELEASES DATA ON HIGH-SPEED SERVICES FOR INTERNET ACCESS • FCC’s 7/7/05 Report on high-speed connections to the Internet in the United States where facilities-based broadband providers report the number of high-speed connections (FCC Form 477). • “During the year 2004, high-speed lines serving residential, small business, larger business, and other subscribers increased by 34%, to 37.9 million lines.”

  6. ISPs High Speed Internet Service To Existing Neighborhood Locations • Architecture Qwest CO x Data DS1s Remote DSLAM FDI Voice – To Main Frame ATM Switch Customers Analysis • Remote DSLAM is added to existing neighborhoods. • When the customer orders High Speed Internet Service, jumpers are placed in the cross-box to run the voice line through the DSLAM. • The DSLAM equipment accesses the voice line and electrically combines it with the DSL signal – the result is a single line from the DSLAM to the cross-box that carries a combined voice/data signal. • Another jumper is made at the cross-box to connect this new line to the customer's distribution portion of the loop.

  7. ISPs CLEC DSL on Unbundled Loops Unbundled Loop • Architecture Qwest CO x DSLAM FDI CLEC Collocation Space CLEC Customers MDF Analysis • When the CLEC orders an ADSL-capable Unbundled Loop, jumpers are placed in the Central Office to run the CLEC’s DSL to the Main Distribution Frame to connect to an Unbundled Loop. • The DSLAM equipment is located in the CLEC’s Collocation space in the Central Office – the result is a single line from the DSLAM to the end user that carries a data signal.
