xDSL - June/July 2001
During June/July advanced-television.com is running a special report on xDSL (Digital Subscriber Line), the technology which delivers high-bandwidth information over ordinary copper telephone lines. Our report will contain numerous articles, including a summary of the technology, current state of deployment, along with individual case studies and senior level interviews, in addition to reports from ADSL equipment and service providers. Additional material is being added throughout the month - next update June 11th.
Introduction
Fast Guide to DSL

The basic primer below is intended for those new to DSL technologies. It is based on publicly available US information published in late 1999, hence there have been subsequent developments in some areas.
