Searching for something else, I stumbled on this interview with WorldCom/MCI executives. In part:

<i.Briggs: Optical networks will be an explosive field. It is clearly where we need to go, because the only way you can manage traffic at terabit speeds and beyond is at the optical level. We believe that the network is going to become entirely optical--optical switching, cross-connects, and add/drop multiplexers. The industry is just now picking up on this. The optical-equipment industry is wide open. Entrepreneurs could provide great benefit to the area of optical networking because it requires creative thinking.

What specific opportunities in optical networking do you see?

Briggs: The industry is not focused on developing tools to manage wavelengths of light. We need tools that tell us how to utilize, restore, provision, and maintain optical networks and achieve certain performance levels.
