Re: Brain/Brawn- 1999 Fiber Deployment Stats

Thread- Thanks to Ken's post on the Nortel thread, I pulled these stats out for future reference. Notice where the biggest increase came about. In the last mile. Most times fiber is pulled, it means an engineering/construction firm is a beneficiary.

As far as consumer broadband access battle is going, it's interesting to read the LEC and MSO(cable company) stats.

And the ramp up in LEC fiber laid in the residential market, is a good indication that consumer DSL is for real. -Mike(From Florida)

*****************************

-Interexchange carriers (IXCs) increased their fiber deployment by 85.5 percent to 4.5 million miles in 1999, which is 15 times the installation level achieved in 1995.
-The significant increase is the result of the huge demand for Internet access and the entry of IXCs into local service markets, as well as the emergence of a number of new carriers that are developing high-capacity networks.

-Cable companies' installation of fiber grew 12.3 percent in 1999 compared to 10.3 percent in 1998.
-Cable companies account for the installation of 2.6 million fiber miles in 1999, approximately 22 percent of total installation.

-The biggest increase in the deployment of fiber by the local exchange carriers (LECs) is projected to be in the residential access area, with an increase from 322,000 miles in 1999 to 2.2 million miles in 2003, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate of more than 61 percent.

-Competitive access providers (CAPs) increased their fiber deployment by 1.2 million fiber miles in 1998 to a total of 3 million fiber miles, which represents a 66 percent increase over 1997.
-Fiber deployment levels of the CAPs are much lower than those of the LECs, but are growing at a much faster rate, associated with overall growth in the competitive local market.

-Spending in the fiber optics market has more than tripled from $4.1 billion in 1990 to $14.6 billion in 1999
-Spending on fiber optics equipment is projected to rise from $12.2 billion in 1999 to $28 billion in 2003, a compound annual growth rate of 23.1 percent.
