And more than the technical user is the benefit to corporations and
businesses that DSL providers offer. We see many companies using DSL as a
cost effective replacement for backup services formerly run over dialup,
ISDN, and other on-demand technologies. The AUPs, filtering policies,
routing policies, etc of cable operators are simply not geared to meet the
needs of even the most simplistic of corporate requirements.
