Steve, The limitations I spoke of do not relate to the fiber itself. My concerns relate to the performance of fiber components such as filters, multiplexers, demultiplexers, system monitors and amplifiers. I suppose if Lucent were able to pull this off then QWST could upgrade their system to use LU equipment without any changes to the fiber itself. Of course, this would mean ripping out all the NT equipment. Nortel is, IMHO, way ahead of LU and if there is any merit to this claim I would expect NT to already be working on a competitive solution. But as I said, I think the LU claim is misleading. I suspect their claim may be based upon "potential capacity" which is never actually realized at any one place in the network at the same time.
