You already had that answered did you not?

They have REAL PROVEN PRODUCTS that are MARKETABLE ALREADY on the market not a CONCEPT!

That is why the people investing in them are the kind that invest to make money through REAL technology not guaranteed investing like NVEI's death spiral financing.

OK. You did say please.

please enlighten us as to what exactly they have tested and shipped - nothing on their site about testing, results, or anything when it comes to broadband over telephone wire

At the risk of sounding arrogant or like a self-proclaimed expert, Ikanos has several VDSL and VDSL2 products. They do not refer to them as "broadband over telephone wire", but that's what VDSL and VDSL2 are. They are standards-compliant products. Their first generation set of products was the Fx family of chipsets. You can read about them here:

http://www.ikanos.com/solutions/fx.html

Their second generation was announced in June. It is a low-power VDSL2 solution. The press release can be found here:

http://www.ikanos.com/news/press/062705_VDSL2SecGen.pdf

I don't know what you mean by "testing" or "results". These are shipping products that are already installed in a large base. They sold their 5 millionth port in March:

I asked if you were kidding because this information is readily available and easily found on the Ikanos web site.

As a side note, Ikanos is the company that NVEI lied about in the RAQ. When asked about whether Ikanos was competition, they said:

At this time, we are pleased to note that Ikanos's announced performance chipset is significantly less than we expect to achieve with our first product offering. A main difference between the Ikanos offering and ours is that they must bond together multiple pairs of copper wires in order to achieve high data speeds, while we use a single pair.

That's just a blatant lie. Ikanos offers standards-complaint VDSL and VDSL2 products that operate over a single twisted pair.
