Verizon are also doing "Fiber to the door" in the USA ....
"Verizon Communications leads the charge to deploy fiber-optic cables to customer premises. Several factors drive the initiative, including pressure to generate new revenue from video services; however, regulatory barriers may hold it back in the short term.
The Yankee Group anticipates Verizon will pass more than 350,000 customer locations by 2004. This should generate more than $150 million in broadband equipment revenue. During the next five years the deployment will reach almost six million homes, apartments and businesses, and will generate equipment revenue of nearly $3 billion.
Equipment vendors that produce optical line terminal equipment, optical networking units or terminals and set-top boxes are well positioned to take advantage of this enormous capital project. Verizon’s leadership ultimately will pave the way for other carriers to enter the fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) arena. The Yankee Group expects the overall opportunity to grow as the market matures. "
"A Dow 30 company, Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) is one of the world's leading providers of communications services, with approximately $68 billion in annual revenues"
