The growing use of collector rings to aggregate DSLAM and cable CMTS traffic will
increase the use of Ethernet in collector rings for packet traffic, while also carrying
TDM traffic to the detriment of Ethernet over SONET/SDH. Ethernet is also beginning
to be used as the preferred technology for fiber extension from connected buildings to
other nearby unconnected buildings, and many MSOs and telco TV providers are using
GE channels on WDM for delivery of video on demand (VOD).
Several Asian countries are outfitting their populations with high-speed (DSL, VDSL,
Ethernet, PON) connections. The Japanese government established a goal of connecting
30 million consumers and SOHOs at 10M and 10 million at 100M by 2010.
