                    [Summary] => 

In the next few months, top telecom companies in the country will be adopting new technologies that will allow them to handle up to 1,000 simultaneous calls in a single copper line at a very low cost.

Greg Marshall, president of Lucent Technologies Philippines, said yesterday that with the digital subscriber line (DSL), carriers no longer need to put up expensive infrastructure but can utilize their existing facilities to accommodate more voice and data traffic.

As a result, he said, companies would be able to offer cheaper services to their customers.
