That's a fair question. The way I understand it from some people that do understand it is as follows:

DWDM will essentially replace the hubs and routers in a digital network. IP or "packeting" will only be necessary on the "periphery" of the network - or input/output. Video, even with WDM, will still need to be compressed (just too information rich) if a broadband network (wired and wireless) is to provide real-time point-to-point video/audio/data - as they all seem to be migrating toward. Divicom's compression techniques are ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for HLIT or any other fiber optic provider (and, obviously, the "packets" will be formed on the other end and need to be decoded).

This is my understanding.
