ECOC and the economics of FTTH

I'm off to the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC 2006). I hope to talk to several leading optical component players to understand their areas of focus in the next 12 to 18 months, their thoughts on 100 Gbit/s Ethernet and what key technologies they believe will be needed in optical networks in the next few years.

I will be taking part in the Optical Network Europe 2006 event at ECOC. The session will be on fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) deployment in Europe and in particular whether the economics of FTTH is still the sticking point. If you will be attending, do please come and introduce yourself.
