7.2. Applications and Their Interfaces
Applications for VDSL are manifold, with the consequent relative impacts yet indeterminate. This section begins by some degree of analysis of different data-rate combinations and applications for VDSL in terms of the presently evolving views of broadband access. Generally, this section argues that speeds for DSL access will steadily increase from the current installed asymmetric 100s of kilobits to 1 Mbps-plus to 10s of Mbps of symmetric transmission speed as fiber reaches closer to the DSL customer.
The application types of audio, video, and data as usual will guide vision of the requisite speeds of future broadband DSL access here, followed by an example progression of DSL applications that could, for ...
