That was an interesting article. Thanks.

An excerpt:

McFadden: What you'll see in the next five years is that the things you've seen in the backbone or the core network you'll start to see in access and metro types of topologies. That's why we bought Cambrian. The way that people build networks in the metro area is going to be transformed into an optical networking scenario.

We'll be in the business of manipulating photons. You can call it wavelength switching, optical add/drop … but we'll be directing light in the optical domain to reduce interconnection costs and bandwidth scalability costs as we are required to by our customers.

If everyone in New York City went out and bought a [Nortel] 1 Meg Modem tomorrow and hooked it up to their access networks, we'd have a big problem. So we've got to solve that. If we are going to have high-definition TV, digital radio and wireless access to the Internet, all of those bits are going to end up on fiber someplace.

The fiber is going to be aggregated closer to the subscriber than it's been in the past. So you are going to have to have this cost-effective fiber connectivity technology called metro DWDM.
