accomodation, vs price...

This is a matter of accommodation vs price. If you understand the technicals, what we're really talking about is the ability to bend fiber optics a few degrees MORE than standard fiber optics with negligible signal loss (indicating there may be some). In reality what we're talking about is the ability to wire tight conduits where there may be a "V" or "L" shaped bend vs a "U" or "C" shaped bend.. Usually the necessity to run LONGER lengths to get around this problem was the answer, or modifying the conduits to fit.. again added cost.. This inherently solves a big infrastructure problem that will in the future allow many more HOMES/BUILDINGS to be wired DIRECTLY to fiber and your triple play appliances (internet,phone,tv) may be "fiber based" instead of copper based interfaces, but will take decades to fully be realized.
