Frank - From the article... "It's also having the effect if you want conventional singlemode fiber that's become more difficult to obtain," says Fay. "Corning and Lucent have had to fly in fiber from Japan to meet their conventional singlemode commitments." ...Why would someone want singlemode fiber, now? I guess a parallel question would be: when fiber gets cut, what is involved in repairing it? Is amplification required at the splice? Or is it a "splice" at all?
