It is also introducing for the first time extensive cost analysis of the various forms of AAAs, and comprehensive traffic (bandwidth) requirements analysis and forecasts affecting AAAs.  This report researches the IEEE 802.16e technology and markets. Early forecasts that commercialization of 4G technologies will start not before 2010 are now being reconsidered, and several 4G technologies have already been introduced, either on a commercial or trial basis.  This brand new market study from IGI Consulting will illumniate the top opportunities for POF in the coming year, including: automotive, industrial controls, consumer electronics, home networking, aircraft, data centers, super computers, SAN/LAN, medical applications and fabrics.  In contrast to the glass optical fiber business, the Plasticc Optical Fiber (POF) business in 2008 is booming. There is an excitement in the air that is causing companies to reassess their strategies with regard to POF. New companies are entering the field from China, Taiwan, Japan, U.S, Europe, Brazil, Korea, Australia and Ireland as an indication of the widespread interest in POF.  This is a complete update of our earlier reports with an emphasis on WSS, and how the WSS technology approach to R-OADMs will facilitate the interconnection of multiple networks. The interconnection of long haul and metro networks takes on a new importance with the SBC-ATT-BellSouth and Verizon-MCI mergers.  Recent activity should indicate that IPTV is here to stay. Then how can we have an IPTV report with the somewhat negative title of “IPTV — To Be or Not to Be?” The answer is in the details of the differences of how video is being implemented by the two major RBOCs. One (AT&T) is using a pure IPTV approach, while what Verizon is doing is hardly recognizable as IPTV.  This report is a companion to the latest FTTP report. In this report we will use the forecasts in the new FTTP report to develop equipment requirements and fiber cable requirements for FTTP. The RBOCs, all three (now that the AT&T/BellSouth merger has been consummated) to greater or lesser extents, are now in the process of rolling out FTTP. Verizon has a monumental effort underway, and the other two are in various stages (lab tests, minor deployments or preparing massive rollouts) of deployment. The RBOCs have actually moved into the video business in a massive way.  We have now been producing annual reports on FTTP since before the program was actually originated. This is the most comprehensive of those reports, and it has the most useful direct forecast information ever presented on FTTP. This latest incarnation of our efforts to keep our clients completely up-to-date on FTTP focuses on the substantial progress to date for FTTP, the changes we see coming, as well as our forecasts for the future - including for RBOCs not yet involved. Related Press Release:Star-Telegram: "Wrong Number"  This report forecasts how much traffic will be carried for the period to the end of this decade, on the Internet backbone and on the total national North American. Given this statement of purpose for the report, it is interesting to note that there really is no Internet backbone or North American network, in the sense of an individual entity. How Much Bandwidth Is Enough in the Access Network? Strategies of AT&T, Verizon, and BellSouth in the Design of the Last MIle  When Bell shouted, “Watson, come here!” He probably wanted to debate the design of the ‘last mile' of his planned telephone network. Ever since then, telephone engineers and executives have been debating the design of the last mile. R-OADMS are rapidly becoming a major update objective for existing networks. In addition to the maturity of application, R-OADMs have also developed a third generation technology base – the Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) that has quickly become the ‘gold standard.’ Components for R-OADMs: 2006 Listing and discussion of the major vendors involved in R-OADMs at the components level, as well as analysis of the vendors. POF Market & Application Series Eleven new reports and tutorials each focusing on a different aspect of POF markets and technology. Unrepeatered Submarine Cable Fiber Optic Systems - 2006 Edition The unrepeatered market is forecast to grow substantially over the next decade, from 184 current links to over 700 links by 2010. In this update of the earlier report,over 300 unrepeatered links installed or planned throughout the globe are identified. IGI also proposes another 120 links for areas currently underserved by submarine fiber optics. Next Generation Network: Will the RBOC's be Googled Up?
