It was time for our name to reflect that our work addresses much more than just DSL. Our work has matured over the years from addressing physical layer ADSL transport specifications, to advanced transport and management specifications for all forms of DSL. Today we are developing service based solutions that are access agnostic, and empower the digital home and office to achieve more with broadband. The DSL Forum name was no longer in line with the scope of our work. A survey of our members confirmed strong support for changing the name to The Broadband Forum.
