When Qwest started building infrastructure for DSL, SDSL wasn't available. They chose their RADSL, which committed them to a whole lot of equipment and other infrastructure aspects. Also, as someone else mentioned, they had to bet on what people would be interested in, and ADSL offers the ability to run voice & DSL on the same line. That will certainly make the difference in selling it to most people in my area, and probably in general. What makes you think Qwest can afford to stay in business if they willy nilly go chasing after all these special interests who make up a very tiny portion of their market (i.e., LUGers)? Isn't that what Covad did, and now they're leaving those same customers out in the cold? Andy
