Actually, GTE uses Fujistu for ADSL (at least here in California). I guess 
that shows just how valid ADSL market surveys are.

The fact is that ADSL is still a relatively small market and who leads 
today may not be around tomorrow as ADSL grows. What is interesting here in 
CA is that GTE ISDN installations have slowed to a crawl and ADSL 
installations are booming. This according to the installers who have to go 
out and do the work. :)
