To offer DSL, you need to have access to the copper pair running to the customer prem. And in most areas, that is all telco owned. The other one I heard was to buy an old alarm monitoring company, as they used to have dedicated copper run to each building for the alarm system. Otherwise, you have to enter into an agreement with the telco to colocate a DSLAM in their office and gain access to the copper pairs. The other option would be reselling DSL ports for the telco, but in my experience that has not been a great money-maker. --=20 Jon Simola Systems Administrator ABC Communications
