WHO SHOULD READ THIS REPORT

• Competitive local-exchange carriers (CLEC) that seek to achieve enduring market-share and value through the provisioning of high-bandwidth, converged services to end users
• Incumbent local-exchange carriers (ILEC) that hope to maintain their market advantage by enhancing the capacity, cost-effectiveness, and management of their optical network
• Bandwidth wholesalers that must maximize the speed, reliability, and reach of their optical infrastructure for their carrier partners
• Interexchange carriers (IXC) for whom bandwidth demands on their core capacity network continue to escalate
• Metro-area and in-building service providers that must bring fiber-based networks all the way to the end user and deliver reliable quality of service (QoS)
• Storage-area, data-center, and co-location providers that must look to optical solutions to handle the high volume of multiple-network traffic and content on their infrastructures
• Internet service providers (ISP) that must keep abreast of rapid innovations in the optical layer that will lead to new and enhanced high-speed services
• Equipment vendors that must keep up to date on preferred network-access architectures in the rapidly changing marketplace
• Cable companies for whom optical components play a key role in their end-to-end networks
• University professors whose courses and research must reflect the latest developments in optical networking
