I'm not sure I'd ever run across a supposed "objective" news article that wasn't biased in some fashion.

Seems to me Lightreading.com is committed to stirring up the pot to draw eyeballs. The risk is that they could lose credibility fast if they continue to write this kind of crap. Telecomguy's analysis of NT's strategy is more in line with reality.

telcomguy's #5052 gave you a thoroughgoing reply. i would add that qtera offers a soliton solution squeezing the light at the inception so it shoots ahead, keeping its form with little dispersion for say 2400km (field demonstrated on qwest's network and thoroughly documented at OFC by Q). xros offers optical crossconnect and potential switching technology which makes 2 giant steps toward a fully optical network - no slow-downs by electro-optical complexities. that nonsensical calculation about 36 heads results, i think, from a reporter sitting before a blank screen and trying to think up a novel "angle" to the story. dorothy parker once used the old trick of writing "The", hoping the rest of the story would write itself. after a few hours, she finally wrote "The hell with it." and left.
