So FTTH is pointless..?FTTH will be an essential factor in sorting out which economies will thrive in the knowledge economy and those that will not. Take a look at FTTH in pacific rim, Verizon's roll out of FIOS in USA, municipal FTTH projects such as UTOPIA in Utah and watch how they will gain competitive advantage with high speed, high quality services to TV, PC and beyond. Meanwhile us poor souls in UK should be happy with broadband without QoS over long length copper from the exchange.....we should be be very wary of our future position in the global economy. No doubt someone once thought that the canals were great and that railways were unnecessary...
