Description

This analysis provides an insight into the changing marketplace for deploying fiber optic capabilities into the local telecommunications access loop. This is a nascent market that has only recently begun to experience a movement toward significant investment by major telecommunications carriers. Deployment and marketing strategies are still being formulated or revised by the major carriers. Other carriers are still considering when and if to proceed with local fiber deployments. Therefore, this early look at the coming build-out of fiber in the local loop will not be revenue forecast focused. Instead, it will be confined to an examination of current provider strategies and an analysis of the market dynamics
