Bell Canada, BellSouth, SBC Communications Inc. and Verizon have announced their support of DSLHome, a major DSL industry initiative to help spur the adoption of DSL-based home networks that will deliver advanced voice, video and data services.
The DSLHome initiative, unveiled at SUPERCOMM this summer, is spearheaded by the DSL Forum. The aim of the initiative is to drive technical innovations that ensure DSL is the best broadband access for online families and teleworkers, and to help Internet users better understand and easily establish DSL-based home networks.
The DSL Forum is working to establish an industry accepted networking architecture that will support fast, reliable and secure connections to the Web and/or virtual private networks by multiple users, and to initiate a global consumer education program.
As part of the DSLHome initiative, Bell Canada, BellSouth, SBC Communications Inc. and Verizon will work with global service providers, vendors and other prominent organizations to share best practices and infrastructure requirements to meet the growing consumer need for superior home networking solutions.
