Yep. So far the only realistic way to move massive amounts of long-distance traffic is fiber.
And then there is all that PSTN infrastructure that will have to be replaced...
Yep. It's only money. They already have rights of way.
Ah... but do they have -all- the rights of way & fiber? Are there alternatives to fiber? Those are the 64ruble questions... If they do, and no alternatives, then a terabit router is worthless. I can't get the infrastructure to support it. If the PSTN is the only game in town, then its ATM or nothing.. and ATM won't cut it at those rates. --bill
