Abstract
Passive optical networks (PONs) are the most effective way of delivering narrowband services to customers via fibre. PONs also provide an evolutionary path to the delivery of future broadband services. The paper outlines the present stage of development of PONs for use in British Telecom´s access network and describes PON architectures for delivering services to both business and residential customers. The upgrade options for providing future broadband services are discussed, and the technology trial at Bishop´s Stortford is described
