Hello John,
I know I am a little late on this thread but I am sure this is still
Verizon's position.
It was my suggestion during the Q&A session at Verizon's NEBS 2006
conference that produced this statement on their website. (Pat pat..)
Verizon does have a need for RoHS compliant products for their foreign
deployments but there too they ask we keep the Pb as there is an
exemption for telecommunication products.

I have written to Telcordia to find out. I doubt the position has
changed.

Bob,
This is 18 months old, and component suppliers continue to convert to
pure tin. Do you know if this is still the Telcordia position. Sure
would be nice to try to bolser some similar resolve in the military
community.

Verizon Supports Telcordia's Position on the RoHS Directive
New legislation known as "RoHS" (Reduction of Hazardous
Substances) bans certain chemicals and metals from some electronic
manufacturing. In order to maintain high and predictable network
reliability, it is the expressed desire of Verizon that:
* 1. Equipment manufacturers shall continue to use
leaded-solder until alternatives have demonstrated reliability suitable
for the telecommunications infrastructure, and;
* 2. Component suppliers shall continue to make available
components compatible with leaded-solder manufacturing until
alternatives have demonstrated reliability suitable for the
telecommunications infrastructure.
Verizon supports the position conveyed by Telcordia in their
Notice To The Industry. Click here
