Yes that's fine for VOIP, but try videoconferencing over the WWW, the video is crap, it's the Video-on-demand that will drive the Fiber boom, and companies like BskyB are the one's who want the new revenue streams. The USA stuff I posted earlier stated $2000 per connection (line of Fiber to the home), and the user isn't paying, it's the media companies that are paying.
We looked at WWW videoconferencing for the office, but it's rubbish, you need loads of ISDN lines to just go accross the UK, and to talk to our european offices even that is rubbish. Fiber will make it possible.
You say "Are BT laying it to indiviual houses now ?" and as I posted earlier ....
"ECI was selected by BT as sole supplier to provide the trial as it was able to deliver the technology and 21st Century services ahead of the market. The trial will include 3,000 homes with active connections to more than 1,500 residential users and in excess of 100 business users.
ECI and BT will go live on the trial in October 2004 with voice and data services carried over BT's existing digital exchanges."
