To some degree, cable MSOs are being pushed to deploy fiber deeper by increasing competitive threats, notes Rittichier.

With the RBOCs upgrading five percent of their plants every year, and growing the size of their networks by five percent in newbuilds, Rittichier says that fiber could penetrate deeply into the access network in a relatively short amount of time.

In response, cable operators will keep a close eye on AT&T's LightWire project, and probably develop hybrid architectures that take advantage of more fiber, yet are less costly than true FTTH approaches.

"I think it'll be a case of gradual migration to 60 homes per node over the next three to five years," predicts Rittichier.
