Better yet go wireless. See link to an enlightening George Gilder article about the genius of the internet and applying that kind of visionary thinking to move it to wireless. Good food for thought about spectrum bandwidth. MCOM mentioned in end of article has since climbed in recent weeks from $6 to $18 to $11 and now $13 again. I'm not in it, yet, but the story is good.

Crossy, <<increasing current bandwidth over fiberoptic lines>>

Nice article on WDM. You might want to check out a company called Qwest (which was not mentioned in the article), QWST, which has an SI thread. They have constructed a 16,000 mile fiber backbone which will be "lit" fully by 1998.

<< got a nice piece of news on WDM (Wavelength Digital Multiplexing), an area where COHR recently began targeting substantial amount of R&D spending: >>

Crossy, do you have any references I can look at re: COHR and WDM? I have yet to find anything specific that mentions COHR working on WDM.

COHR does have expertise in areas that are well suited for WDM. I have yet to see them capitalize on it.
