Oh, I would hope it's dead in that particular role! It's heavily
limited for any sort of modern service, like IPTV (TV over xDSL),
bandwidth requirements per-DSLAM in order to support larger speeds,
etc. No, hopefully noone is still looking into this. ATM has been
defeated hands-down by Ethernet in this role.
I would expect to see it in more carrier-based roles for backhauling
RAN, packetizing TDM traffic and stuff like that. IP still has a lot
to learn from ATM in that sense, but it's getting there.
