the need for increased production aol.com Actually, this is only part of the answer. The internet is going to try to take over the space occupied by broadcast TV. That will take a lot of bandwidth. Riding the coattails are many other bandwith intensive applications. TP

Ed, It's that age old quest. More information, faster and more efficiently. It's the same reason that parents of newborns eventually fear the first toddler steps 11 months later. The kids can now move and want to explore on their own. Up to now, society's been on all fours. So........when they stick a tiny fiber optic pipe into the side of every dwelling on this planet or beam picobits/sec of data from the our planet to MARS or wherever(and they're going to.....), remember........moving information all starts with light. Until we find out how to warp space and time to our advantage, light's the fastest thing. I am sure that fact will last us for at least a hundred years.... Now....don't those red, green, yellow and black copper wires coming into your house seem like stone wheels? In 10 years......they will be. Move over Fred Flintsone, here comes George Jetson. Sorry for thinking just a wee bit ahead of ourselves...but JDSU will be a part of this vision. They're making sure today that they will be as dominant as INTC was for the last one. That one didn't last all that long, now did it! Everyone thought the processor race would take us to a zillion MHz. Wrong. The pipe for data is much more important. Have a good weekend! Steve
