Are we now going to see the same mistakes made with SDSL as were made with ADSL ?

I am convinced that had the price of ADSL not been continually slashed, we would now have a much wider range or offerings (based on local loop unbundling) - including some that were significantly different, and also including SDSL.

By slashing the price, the potential business models of most alternatives were destroyed and so we got lumbered with the unimaginative and restrictive range of offerings that BT have decided to allow.

I fear the same will happen with SDSL and alternative offerings will be a long time coming.
