Fiber to the Premises: Closing the Capacity Loop Live Online Meeting

Join Heavy Reading, Alcatel, Cisco, Entrisphere, and World Wide Packets on Wednesday, August 25, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. ET for this live online meeting.

The access network has never been more critical to the future of telcos worldwide, and many are choosing to transform their last mile with fiber, building a "future proof" access infrastructure capable of supporting any service imaginable. Fiber to the premises (FTTP) has generated tremendous press over the past year, but has yet to generate tremendous fortunes.

This is a market that has long been set to explode, but has been held back by uncertain regulations, immature technology, competition from DSL, and uneven market demand. Times have changed, and in 2004 FTTP solutions have matured to the point that the largest telcos are making long-term commitments that total in the billions of dollars.

This live online meeting will look at the forces that have come together in 2004 to create a vibrant market for FTTP, including international standards, low-cost equipment, intense competition in the local loop and demand from customers for a complete Triple Play offering of voice, data and video.
