RE: [EFM] RE: [EFM-Copper] the merits of 12 kft and +
How do folks want to handle POTs in this case? Do we want to make POTS
support not required, therefore no inline filters required, as the norm.
I see no issues with this requirements list as it is now forming. I also
know of a design where this is not a theoretical exercise.
I would support a submission advocating such if POTs support was not
mandatory. I want to get rid of mandatory POTs support to reduce
truck-rolls, therefore cost. I have no objection to optional POTS support.

Frank, Vladimir, Patrick,
I did not think I am going to agree with you all, but I do.
Here is my proposal, and I want to thank you guys to put the thought in my
head:
To get maximum customers:
choose maximum reach - 24 kft AWG-24
To get lowest cost installation, lowest CPE cost and configurability and
ease of use:
choose a CPE that can be configured to an ADSL CPE modem, very large volume,
cheap ASP ~ $50
To satisfy ILEC, using DLCs
Use the method proposed by Howard/Hugh/etc
To satisfy the need of data hungry business in MxU:
maximum data rate of 100 Mbits symmetric (LRFE)
And by the way, this is not a theoretical exercise. I know at least one
company that does it all.
Thanks very much
Behrooz

Vladimir,
I fully agree with your conclusions below in that "if we can reach cheap
basic deployments involving many customers it will give a good basis for
business". The more distance (6000m) means more customers. Multiple-pair
solutions would also, as you state, raise the cost of the service at least
$20/mo/pair dependient upon tarrifs and would not
be my preference.
I appreciate the work, as a service provider, the efforts of all in the
802.3 EFM study group / task force.
Frank
