Omniguide technology will not get into major telecommunication systems for the simple reason that the transmission medium (air) cannot be kept "absolutely" constant.
Surely you believe, however, that someone will develop a practical technology for photonic fibers. The biggest drawback besides stretching the state of the art with design issues as well as manufacturing shortcomings would seem to be that demand is not yet there. But maintenance issues will continue to plague existing cables, particularly amplifiers, and eventually this or some other technology will replace.

Regarding CIEN and JDSU "end part" doesn't that appear to be jeopardized (along with CSCO) by Moore's Law of microchips, as BRCM and others are integrating more and more of that end part functionality onto single silicon chips?
