[Wright is right!]

Part of the problemo in the US has been the telcos, who didn't want to roll out DSL because it would undermine their pricey T-1 service. They held out and held out and held out - until cable had sewn up most of the broadband bidness. Here in Nashville, Bell South is still dumping gazillions into DSL neighborhood repeaters to try to catch up.

It could have happened a lot sooner if the Bells had seen the light of getting EVERYONE on broadbando.

DSLAMs are expensive to install. Not to mention you need to be within range of the CO or an RT. If not they then have to place an RT. We're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars for these suckers to get rolling. A T-1 and DSL are not in the same class of service either.
