I don't know. Maybe I'm just an old cranky guy, but I think that Ethernet is for LANs and belongs inside and that Carrier is for WANs and belongs outside.

I'm just as old and cranky. I have always called it carrier ethernet. Plug your network connection into a black box and out of the other side comes DSL. Put that on a private line (even with POTS) and use another black box at the other end to connect the DSL to the remote network.

Don't know why the CGs have to make it so complicated. Just call it private DSL. And it is carrier.
