We were talking with NYNEX briefly and you basically have two ways to go
with this:
1) Become a CLEC, buy equipment that meets Bell standards and co-locate at
some COs. The telco will bring copper to you. They will make no
guarantees on the quality of the copper; maybe it will work for xDSL,
maybe not ;) Run a big fat expensive pipe to colo for your bandwidth.
2) Hope your office is very close to CO. When a customer orders service,
you order dry copper to the CO as well. Telco ties the two copper lines
together so there is a path from the customer to your facilities. Same
lack of guarantees on line qualities. Buy big bandwidth.
We gave up because of all the "ifs".
