This new development will hopefully contribute to lower setup fees for DSL and competitive services and make it easier for consumers to install it.
It may soon get easier to access the Internet's fast lane. The digital subscriber line (DSL) industry announced today it has created the OpenDSL initiative, which will work toward getting rival companies' products to work together. |
Several top equipment and semiconductor manufacturers that produce gear for DSL, a high-speed Internet access technology, are behind the move, including 3Com, Cisco Systems, Intel and SBC Communications.
The OpenDSL group is charged with ensuring interoperability of equipment and modems made by rival companies, as well as striving toward technologies that can be easily installed by average consumers.
