Abstract
Overview:
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. As forecast in our 2005 and 2006 reports, two of the RBOCs are in the
residential TV delivery business. Several relatively new technologies have
been deployed in their entries into that business, and the RBOCs will use just
about every imaginable combination of those technologies to achieve their
objectives.
