Dark fiber ready-made to carry
video content?
A ready-made, low-cost, high-capacity national
network: It could be just the thing to drive ever-wider distribution of
high-quality video. And many potential users of this video content

and buried fiber lines in anticipation of burgeoning demand. Rapidly
overbuilt, this vast fiber network fell into disuse after the great
shake-out of the 1990s. No one is quite sure just how much of the
resulting dark fiber exists today, but as recently as last year industry
experts believed as much as 70 percent of all the fiber in place in the
United States was not being used. more>>
