I don't do anything without consideration of the future. My own network, 
and even some of the local AT&T pops easily handle sliding of DSL 
customers to interconnected ISPs. Extremely easy with ATM, and even 
doable with 802.1ad for those non-atm DSLAMs (idiotic sales pitch isn't 
it? Of course, it has ATM!).
