With data traffic growth now as high as 300 per cent in some areas of the
globe, the unquenchable demand for bandwidth continues unabated. The challenge
for network providers is clear - to satisfy the demand while remaining in
business.

key applications for the new technologies, and the readiness of the main
players.
