From the ASND thread IBD. Lucent Moving At Light Speed Into New Era Interview with Lucent's McGinn Message 8302684 An excerpt: IBD: When will fiber optics become more widespread? McGinn: We are supplying carrier- grade optical networks to certain (corporate) campuses today. They tend to be superheavy users, not the normal kind of businesses. But I'd expect within 12 to 18 months you will see the firm implementation of metro- area optical networks going in (thanks to) new low-cost technology. And within two to three years, the market will begin to pick up substantially for campus and individual-building optical networks. That puts huge pressure on the status quo in the enterprise marketplace in terms of hubs and routers.
