The total number of homes worldwide that will be reached by next-generation fiber-optic networks will soar from about 11 million this year to about 86 million in 2011, triggering a potentially massive deployment of a full range of digital and multimedia communications and entertainment services, according to a major new study released today by Heavy Reading (www.heavyreading.com), the market research division of Light Reading Inc. (www.lightreading.com).
One of the interesting finding in the report is that FTTH expansion will be most aggressive in Asia, adding to that region's growing leadership role in deployment of advanced technologies. FTTH growth over the next five years will be dominated by Asia, where the number of connected households will grow to 59 million by the end of 2011. The rest of the subscriber base at 2011 will be split equally between the Americas (mainly the U.S.) and the EMEA (Europe/Middle East/Africa) region.

10 Gig EPON Standardization Activities
This standardization activity aims at supporting the Ethernet PON at 10Gbps. The standard is expected to affect only the physical layer, as the MPCP and OAM operations in 10 Gig EPON are expected to email the same.
An overview of the standardization activities are available in IEEE 802.3 10 Gbps PHY for EPON Study Group. A nice representation articulating the need of 10 Gig EPON is available here. The website also contains presentations form different companies made during the study group meet held at Austin, TX last week.
The meeting voted to submit a Project Authorization Request (PAR) to the next IEEE Plenary in July 2006. We should be proud that our distinguished alumini, Dr. Glen Kramer, has played a major initiative in coordinating the study group towards this goal.
It is nice to visit some of these meetings if they are help locally (as in San Francisco). I attended a IEEE 802.3ah meeting in 2003, and it was definitely an excellent learning process.
