Re: pretty soon
I'm pretty sure that same thing was said about various networking technologies like coax networking vs cat5, etc less than 20 years ago... Some people just think of the immediate future, and not what might be down the road just a little further...
If your statement were true, sufficient access would still be a 9600 baud modem. This comment is not meant to be a dig, just something to think about.. |

You will see fiber to the desk long before you see fiber though out the home. The company I work for does a lot of wiring for very large company that is very tech driven but not in the tech industry. The ONLY thing they use fiber for is to interconnect switches through out their campus and data center.
Most of the places that I see fiber to the desktop are in warehouses and places like Lowes and Home Depot where you have PCs that are too far for ethernet.
If anything you will see wide spread use of Cat6 before you have fiber through out the home. Compared to copper fiber is expensive and terminating fiber is even more expensive. |
