<<This LMT thread primarily focuses on last-mile residential products and services of the type that deliver telephone, data, 'Net access and TV (and other entertainment) services. By land and by air. The idiom that has evolved here is consistent with the "battleground for the residence" schtick that was foretold, ten years ago.>> <<or at least one that presents a respectable level of influence in this sector>> Frank, I thought FTTC and FTTH WAS residential? Through Marcony and Bell South, several million homes are wired with voice, video and data at 10mbps using MRVC's optical triplexer. Is this not considered a respectable level of influence? True, those components are not going in ostensibly under the MRV name, but they make some of the components never the less. How many million homes wired would it take to be viewed as respectable? Similarly, don't access aggregators and concentrators count as touching the Last Mile? itouchcom.com itouchcom.com Frank, I don't mean to sound disrespectful here - as I have the highest respect for you and the other posters here, but I must be missing something, if the evolving metro and access markets and the companies changing the future of them aren't worthy of discussion here.
