Wouldn't residential fiber be
expected to radiate out from neighborhood break-out boxes, or at the
longest from a central office in the middle of town, rather than having
some central point where enough individual strands of fiber converged to
serve everybody in a 2,000 kilometer radius?
CRS-1 so expensive there'll only be one per country.

Has Linksys announced a new 40GB CRS-1 router for the home? Can I get it
for less than $50, and what's the power bill to run it?
/so expensive/re quires so much power/
I see a global demand for perhaps 5 CRS-1s

Maybe I’m missing something as I’m not the smartest guy on this list, but what exactly did this prove? ISP’s aren’t going to start handing out home connections at 40G per or even 1G. The best pipe they can use between ISP’s is probably going to be the same 40-G blade so even at 500M per they would only be able to sell a few million of these before they run out of bandwidth. Even as a selling point there are only a few (relatively) companies in the world that could make us of such a beast and if cisco (or Juniper) hasn’t called all of them and asked if they want to trade in that ONS contraption for DWDM and IP in one box they are missing something. Although, a picture of Peter Lothberg in his mothers basement standing next to a CRS-1 and maybe 8am Margera would make a better commercial than the one with the kids.

Always an important question to ask...

Hey Peter - they're onto you.
