What DSL technology is being marketed to small businesses?
A13: Generally, DSL services to small businesses are marketed as high-speed Internet access. These services are sold by ISPs, by competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), and by the well known RBOCs, depending on the exact location. In some cases the DSL service is marketed to businesses to enable high-speed, dedicated LAN connections for remote workers. The RBOCs have been trialing proprietary versions of ADSL, but are moving towards ADSL.lite (G.lite) in 1999. From the small and medium user’s perspective, DSL services can look very attractive, especially when compared to traditional T1 connections.
