Abstract
The deployment of fiber optic technology is reviewed. Cost trends for fiber vs copper, better transmission quality, and a reduction in fiber maintenance expense are pointed out as the major reasons for using fiber optic technology. The fact that the fiber optic facilities, which are the most economical and efficient means of providing existing telephone service, also possess the capability of transporting video signals is naturally an additional reason supporting their use.<>
