I have no idea what a telco might feed a fiber with - it'c clearly all digital, but what kind of phones do you use with it and do you hook them up? Around here we have only analog or ISDN phones,
The reason that phone companies all over the world are beginning to run fiber, is to increase their market share of not just voice, but DSL and TV. DSL is limited to a practical limit of 17,000 feet of copper, so the companies in order to get more customers over a much larger area running fiber. You undoubtedly have some there and don't know it. ;)
Yeah, we already have fibre in some areas, and more is coming, no doubt about it. Around here it's the electricity companies promoting fibre, whereas our two big telcos are more keen on VDSL (in which they've already invested heavily). /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
