There is no point to pay the G-PON premium IMHO at the moment. In Quebec, we’ve been delploying Allied Telesis GE-PON with great success.

If someone can come up with better than speciality LD/SOA and packaging that Novera is doing, WDM-PON may very well prove in if cheaper bandwidth > 10Mbps is required (cheaper than GPON). XDSL should be in the tens of $ range per Mbps and xPONs in the few dollars range. Can WDM-PON come in at tens of cents per Mbps? Rohit Andrew,

In Japan you pay about half the price for a broadband connection in comparison with Switzerland. Japan sure is ahead in terms of Fiber.

I saw this diagram on Brough Turner's blog on the FTTH elements - http://blogs.nmss.com/communications/2007/05/useful_life_of_.html. Will this allow operators to move to more mature/ cheaper standards over time? Andrew, Is GPON/BPON/GE-PON very relevant?
