Amazing coincidence, EP! Right now I am discussing the solution of a vendor for implementing a transport network. As I balk at the price of the long haul stretch, he explains to me that he's employing bi-directional optics. Meaning he can transmit and receive over the same fiber, where before I needed a pair of fiber cores. If that is not enough, it is a DWDM (Dense Wave Division Multiplexing) technology. Which means light is 'split' in many Lambdas and each color carries a given amount of data. Which is already a quantum leap from the single lambda carrying capacity of some years ago. But don't forget technological obsolescence, traditional mortality drivers such as wear and tear with usage, deterioration with age, accidental or chance destruction, competitive losses, and losses due to regulatory mandates.
