Yikes, my words coming back to haunt me. That was long ago and at the time,
we had several customers who were interested in AO/DI. But the
specification wasn't ready. Since then, we have had no major customers
(read carriers) who have committed in a major way to AO/DI. 

So we wait. Which will be first, the chicken or the egg. Or xDSL? Or cable
modems, etc, etc.
