>>Uniphase that felt that fiberoptics was the future. Interesting. Made sense.( speed of light etc etc )<< You're implying that electrical transmissions over copper wires travel at a slower speed. That would be wrong. The reason the optical business is taking off is because they are shoving 80 different signals into a fiber using different frequencies of light. You can't do that with copper. Perhaps if you understood that you'd still be in JDSU!
