I doubt they will use sat. to connect towers to the net, so a combination of microwave and fiber will be the way it's down for the long time. That's why I own NT, they seem to have more together then CSCO, and like the fact that NT is using JNPR routers, so they are not bother by, if it's not here it's done, thinking. Greg

Sig, fantastic article, very good primer on what has happened and what is going to happen in the optical sector. The area I find the most interesting and hopefully the most lucrative was pretty much summed up in the following taken from the article << Ciena's Smith says, "The issue now is moving to being: How do you put more intelligence on those bigger pipes? The next breakthrough is really providing intelligence on the network, and that's replacing a lot of these voice switches with optical switches. It puts more software and silicon into the network, so that it allows you [to] switch traffic faster. Optical switches are much smarter and they can allow infinitely more capacity." >> Greg
