RBOCs Talk About Future FTTN Plans

摘要

AT&T and Qwest grabbed headlines announcing "expansion" in their respective FTTN footprints, but the details of each announcement reveal modest implications of SNL Kagan's multichannel outlook. AT&T plans to cover 30 mil. homes with an FTTN network by 2010. That represents 50% of the company's total homes passed and 33% of businesses across its entire territory, including the newly acquired BellSouth region. AT&T's previous guidance was limited to the end of'08, when it expected to pass 17 mil. homes with Project Lightspeed in the legacy SBC footprint.
