The Heathrow fiber access system transports voice, data, and video (CATV) services over single-mode fiber to each home. A description is given of the Heathrow program organization, the market development of residential services, the initial cut-over experience, and Southern Bell´s plan for provisioning fiber in the last mile of the distribution plant
