Sector- 14% of LMNE sales equates to $6.7 million for a quarter. Hardly a strong endorsement of the economic viability of FTTH/FTTC. Nonetheless BLS actually deploying FTTH but only in very limited areas (new construction at best). And it appears BLS's description of FTTC also includes ADSL via NGDLCs. So I'm guessing the true figure for FTTH sales is very small. Frank- Dumb question time. Is FTTC really ADSL via NGDLC? Or is FTTC something else altogether involving PON?...Well in doing a quick search appears here is your answer: Message 14998641 ...appears the answer is yes and yes. Thanks. -MikeM(From Florida) BLS- Bellsouth FTTH- fiber right to the home FTTC- fiber to the curb(but twisted pair the rest of the way) NGDLC- a method to extend ADSL to subs far from CO CO- central office housing expensive teleco equipment PON- passive optical network
