Abstract
This paper discuss past, present, and future use of fiber optics and optoelectronics, in conjunction with coaxial communications networks, to provide enhanced communications and networking capabilities. The role of network architectures and various options regarding wavelengths and modulation techniques are discussed and compared, as are several scenarios of fiber to the neighborhood, service area, curb, and home.Keywords
