Abstract

Recently, local exchange carriers (LEC) in the USA have announced plans for large-scale deployments of fiber to the premises (FTTP) for residential customers and small and medium businesses; however, FTTP will only be successful if LEC develop and offer services that leapfrog the competition and grow the revenue stream. In addition, LEC will have to evolve every part of the network, not just the access. This paper shows that new services, not FTTP alone, will be the driver for significant evolutionary changes in the network, including optical core networks, service elements, and signaling and control.
