Issues addressed include the following:
What is the revenue opportunity for fiber access equipment from 2004 to 2008?
Which vendors participate in this market?
How are government regulations impacting the fiber access equipment market?
How will Ethernet technologies fare against more established APON technologies, and which types of products will dominate the market?
