Reggie,

The thing that is disappearing is the classic T carrier in the delivery of
frames.  So long as customers ask for "T1" (any DS0xN sort of service)
providers will sell them a "T1" but this isn't your Grandpa's T1.  Today we
deliver this kind of service over several competing technologies all
offering things like better distance, fewer conductors, better SNR
characteristics, and so on.  HDSL is an example.

We are installing 5 T-1's this month (connections to customers).

Some customers provide their own Internet Connectivity, but we direct
connect via T-1 (or wireless) with the larger customers. For the cost of
a T-1 the customers get Intenet/Data and the ability to handle 50+ Voice
connections. 

We use Cisco 1721's and 2651's at most customer sites, and they work
fine... (but not as good as OpenBSD would work!)
