Less than 7% of capacity used
Merrill Lynch claimed in two separate reports issued in March and August that network utilization levels remain below historical levels. In its first report it put average optical network utilization at just 2.7% but then revised in the light of industry criticisms that this was a poor measure of network planning. With its revised figure of 6.4% of capacity in use, Merrill Lynch concluded that capacity had increased 60 times in the past 10 years while network utilization had increased just seven times.
