Highlights

Fiber-optic based broadband networks can deliver next-generation' broadband applications such as video on demand, Internet TV, 3D and HD content, and so on. The main challenge with fiber-optic delivery is that of the last mile' (typically the connection from local exchange to the home or premises).

Many governments, including the US, Australia, France, Germany, Britain, and Japan, have initiated new high-speed broadband projects to build out the underlying delivery infrastructure and provide as many households as possible with access to either fast or optical fiber-based broadband connectivity, in order to stimulate economic growth.

One of the main concerns of telco operators is that they will merely become pipes' for the delivery of voice and data services. However, the move towards offering multi-play, including next-generation broadband services, provides substantial opportunity not only for them to avoid becoming dumb pipes', but also to achieve significant growth.
