also being a layer 1 can you whp03 or anyone speculate what each chipset will cost to produce? is it safe to assume if nvc gets that far the telco will finance the production of these chipsets?

Mikey - that is a NVEI/Adapative/? issue... level 1 tech (NVEI) combined with levels 2-3... which we'll no doubt hear more about in the coming weeks and months. BER is a non-issue according to all that I've heard... NVEI is doing what they are doing in such a way that they have no more issues with noise than ADSL services have today. Said another way, BER is a non-issue, as noise is a non-issue, again relative to how it effects ADSl today. Granted, NVEI is dealing with much high data transfer rates, but as I said, noise is not an issue from what I have heard.

mikey- NV will be the ones dealing with the noise issues. The telcos want a finished product.
