Just reading an interesting link on the 'Last Mile' thread...

siliconinvestor.com

"AT&T Corp.'s experimentation with a new fiber-rich cable architecture appears to be panning out, leading officials to
begin planning for wide-scale deployments in 2000 and beyond."

""We might go to one fiber using course WDM [wave-division multiplexing]," Werner said, in reference to the two-wavelength combination over fiber made possible by operating in the 1310-nanometer and 1550-nm wavelengths."

I believe the reference should be to "coarse WDM", which we know is done by MRV (& others most likely). Anyways first time I've seen coarse WDM referenced.

"For example, the mini-fiber nodes being supplied by C-COR.net Corp. for the Salt Lake City project are miniaturized refinements of the fiber-node technology the company has been supplying to the industry for traditional hybrid fiber-coaxial systems, C-COR.net CEO David Woodle said."

C-Cor is a MRV customer.

And more yet to ponder...

"...there is a second phase to AT&T's LightWire strategy, which is still being refined for eventual testing at some
point starting next year, Werner said."
