Title :
Technologies for a broadband access revolution
Abstract :
The promise of true broadband access to the last mile for everyone has fallen far short of the goal. Only when new technologies like MEMs and integrated waveguides achieve large-volume low-cost manufacture will they be effective for last mile deployment
