...past. That rate will soon double in Europe. Like a pickup truck hauling a few apples, a copper wire actually has lots of empty space. The DSLAM throws in bushels of data and video. "This has been one of the single biggest enhancements to the technology," says Guido Garrone, chief technology officer of Milan-based Internet company FastWeb, which offers VOD to its subscribers. Who gets credit? Paris-based Alcatel dominates the global $3.3 billion DSLAM market with a 38.1% share, according to Gartner Inc. (China's Huawei is second with 9.9%).

...going back would cost cash-strapped local governments j250 million for new books with the old spellings. Chancellor Gerhard Schröder caused a predictable outcry when he said he sees no reason to drop the reforms.

...companies where we can't understand what's going on," vows a top credit officer at one big Italian bank. But small and mid-sized firms will be hit too. "For family firms that need more capital to grow, this will be an important problem," worries Guido Corbetta, a professor at Bocconi University in Milan. Prosecutors probing the now-bankrupt Parmalat are increasingly focusing on the roles Italian and U.S. banks may have played in the affair. One potential winner: the Italian stock market. Family businesses have traditionally shunned it, but Corbetta believes firms with ambitious growth plans...
