Re: Insight Research Abstract on "Customer Premises Fiber"

Selected quotes:

In the commercial segment we are witness to a throttling back in
demand for new copper and fiber installations as many of the largest
companies--those that typically are its heaviest users--have completed
much of initial installations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The home market represents a new frontier for
structured cable manufacturers; and the high double-digit growth rates
associated with the segment are sure to attract many new players.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) has recently
released its 570A standard for home cabling, which recommends the
type of home cables to be installed. The cable recommended for [residences]
is a hybrid consisting of Cat 5 UTP and RG-6 coax. The UTP cable
could carry voice and xDSL data signals throughout the home, while
the coax cable could distribute the video signals and a cable modem
service. As an option, fiber cable could be pulled for future proofing,
but INSIGHT believes fiber will play only a very minor role in the
home market.
