Why Telcos Need To Embrace Optical Networks
nojitter, Tuesday, October 10,2023
It's not just a good technical solution. It's also a great financial play for telco operators.
In my last blog I said that optical networks, and the optical-routing bridge to a greater commitment to optical networks, is something enterprises I simply don't believe telcos are willing to consider. That raises the obvious questions: Are enterprises right? And do operators' reasons stand up? Should telcos be all-in on optical networks? I could push theories on why these telcos should be, but these would make sense only if operators would accept them. We need to look at the theories that would stand up to operator evaluation or we're building fables, not business opportunities.
