Alcatel Claims Growing Share in DSL Line Shipments Worldwide
Alcatel said its market share in DSL line shipments rose to 40.5% in Q4 2003, based on figures from Dell’Oro Group. The company credited its improved its worldwide position in the DSL market largely due to significant market share gains in Asia Pacific. Year to year, shipments have more than doubled worldwide, and with 15.8 million lines shipped in 2003, Alcatel reached a cumulative number of DSL lines shipped of more than 39.2 million.

You just read about Alcatel. One of the companies whose work it now carries:

AT&T Project Angel served 1997–2002. What ultimately replaced it?
AT&T Project Angel delivered home phone and broadband over fixed wireless - a rooftop antenna to a neighborhood base station - to bypass the incumbent's copper local loop entirely. Its job passed to DSL — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
