- RHK 160% (for 2001)
- Morgan Stanley 76% (through 2004)
- JP Morgan/McKinsey 60% (through 2004)

One third of fiber in the ground today is "old generation" and is costly to light compared to current technology.
Future optical networks will have 40-45% less operating cost compared to current.
-New technologies drive down costs and breakeven point
-Utilization economics drive race to win traffic
-Low-cost network needed to capture new IP-based service revenues
-"Invest to Win"
Long haul players who achieve scale and drive down costs will earn attractive return on capital
