From the Paper:

"As the Internet has grown, congestion over the telephone networks has increased causing data overload on circuits. Tele.Com's (1996) editors proclaimed in 1996 "after a century of predictability, the telephone network as we know it is fading into oblivion" . Solutions to this problem are varied but all involve totally digital network lines. Broadband solutions "promise speed, but the reality is often limited by internet speeds, backbone connections, switch capacity" (DSL Prime.Com, August 2000) which is why there are so many obstacles for new technologies to overcome no matter how fast they are. This paper will discuss the various new technologies and which one(s) will be the best for implementation while lowering costs and increasing efficiency.
