Re:Short on details (Score 1)

As is the case with most press releases (or "feature article" as this document is called) there is an absolute and complete lack of any useful details. I have had several discussions with people in the chip industry who have seen many "press releases" for products that have not even been designed! The main purpose is to feel out the market. Without knowledge of the industry it's impossible to say whether the product is a complete/feasible/affordable solution. Nortel, Lucent, and others have had this same solution out for a while now (at least 1 year). I am actually suprised it took Cisco this long although I think it may just be a press release pumping it up more. The technology is very similar to SDSL and not that complicated. Nothing new in the technology or the "Cisco invented the network universe" press release, which reminds me that I once read in a Cisco course manual how the OSPF NSSA options was Cisco proprietary and I am sure the idiot who wrote that section of the manual believed it!
