here's another company in the same field as MRVC, with an emphasis on FTTH. Interesting story in today's San Francisco Chronicle: "WAITING IN THE WINGS Staying alive Livermore startup struggles to survive telecom crash What if they staged a broadband revolution and nobody came? That's the dilemma that almost brought down networking equipment-maker Alloptic. The Livermore startup developed an ingenious way of connecting homes and businesses to the high-speed fiber-optic networks laid across America a few years back to carry surging telecommunications traffic. But in the teeth of the tech sector's worst-ever depression, the market for Alloptic's futuristic products never opened up. Tiny Alloptic offers a worm's-eye view of a tech economy gone bad. It is one of hundreds or thousands of young companies with pathbreaking technologies that went through a struggle to survive that couldn't have been imagined during the boom years of the late 1990s.... Alloptic makes equipment that carries signals from fiber-optic networks directly into homes and businesses, converting them to forms that can be used by computers, televisions, telephones and digital devices... But now things are beginning to look up. A big market for Alloptic's technology could be opening up in places like Korea, Japan and Taiwan, where governments are subsidizing the construction of fiber-optic networks. And the company's long-term prospects are bright." We're active in the same places. More at: sfgate.com
