Abstract :
The introduction of fiber subscriber systems is assessed from the viewpoints of incentives for the network operator, merits for the users, and the expansion of the social infrastructure. The design of point-to-multipoint transmission system, which will be applied to fiber-to-the-home and fiber-to-the-floor systems, are presented. It is shown that the penetration of these systems depends on new service demand, especially for FTTH. Service development and system development are both essential.<>
