    Naked DSL = broadband Internet separated from traditional phone services

    See Forbes article here.
    "We're in a competitive situation in all our markets," said spokesman Tyler Gronbach, noting that Qwest is losing local phone line sales as some customers prefer to have just a cellphone or others favor cheaply priced Internet telephone services.
    "If we can keep a customer by giving them a broadband service that's what its all about," he said.
    An eircom spokesperson responded to the article by saying "We're not in a competitive situation in all our markets. If we can keep a customer by not giving them a broadband service that's what its all about".*

    Opposite ends of the spectrum and all that. blah blah

    *May not actually have taken place
