A Great New Site to Research the Optical Networking Field... lightreading.com From the website... <<What is Light Reading? Light Reading is an information resource covering optical networking, a set of technologies that will propel the Internet into a new era and lead to the convergence of telecommunications and TV. Our Web site and e-mail newsletter will help carriers, vendors and investors steer a course towards this goal by providing timely, in-depth analysis of developments. By being the first to market with high-quality, free information about optical networking, Light Reading will be the authority in this area. Why optical networking? Optical networking is set to become the de facto networking technology of the 21st century. It promises to revolutionize telecom services - notably the Internet: It will boost Internet bandwidths by orders of magnitude while slashing costs, making video-based services affordable It will reduce delays to the point where humans won't be able to tell whether they're accessing local or remote information - a development that will transform software markets and could render the desktop PC obsolete In the long term, these developments will alter the way nearly everyone works, learns and plays. Internet service providers (ISPs) and carriers will start investing heavily in optical technology in the next 18 months. Vendors are responding by rapidly expanding develop staff and product offerings in this area. And optical networking start-ups are popping up everywhere. All of this is driving demand for information about optical networking through the roof. Carriers need to know about the latest technologies and products and what they can and can't do for them. Vendors need to get their message to carriers and keep an eye on their competitors. Investors need to understand the significance of these new technologies in order to make wise decisions. Light Reading will address these demands by putting optical networking in context. We'll show how carriers need to bring together a whole collection of technologies to provide platforms for rolling out next-generation services ranging from outsourcing business and electronic-commerce applications to programmable TV. And we'll put all of this under the analytical microscope to help readers get to grips with the real issues.>> ------------------------------------------------------------- The Optical Networking arena could clearly spawn some new Kings and potentially some Gorillas. It is an important field that I am starting to research and invest in. I feel that the rapid advances in Optical Networking could profoundly impact almost every other sector of the high tech arena.
