I look to fiber types now because of two issues I am dealing now:

One backhaul moving from traditional TDM to IP
Two Long haul networks moving to use the optical domain for switching.

Leaving aside One.
I am good to teach lay people on the stuff I do.

Your long haul has stopovers. On the stopovers, you must dismantle the whole load to take just a small parcel out.
Akin to landing a B747 just to take a shoe box out at this ariport.

What if you pass over the city drop the shoebox by parachute and B747 kept flying with the heavy load?

This is light domain add and drop. ROADM for short.

What has this to do with the fiber type? I explain:

The fiber was not optimally utilized. You used the best spot along the spectrum to transmit light (which carried the data).

Now we want several colors of the light spectrum carrying its own data load. That is DWDM.

Here is the problem. There are some colors that are more affected by fiber quality parameters than others.

Thus one must use a fiber that is finely tuned for the new tasks of carrying difertent colors carrying different loads of data.

That means I take that fiber and at a point where I need to branch to the left, I just filter that specific color and sent it to the left, The other colors continue ahead.

Thus we did not have to go electrical to remove data out of the fiber total load.

This is just appearing and is for heavy use not for Africa where we are not doing ROADM.

Clever sales guys are saying: one must install now the fiber for ROADM.

If you look closely, Africa, the whole continent has the total data capacity of Austria.

Say in 25 years it has a capcity requirement that warrants ROADM. Well 25 years is the life of a fiber, by the way.

And in 25 years those guys would be implement a total different network architecture and with different paradigms.

Therefore just dump the G652 and make things happen now.
