You can continually upgrade the electronics at either end to increase speed and use new technologies. So I don't think it will risk becoming out of date. <br /><br />As for mobile, the ever increasing demand for mobile data is one of the reasons the fibre roll-out is needed. There is only Li.ogre capacity over the air so the data needs transporting from the base station by fibre. 4G will demand huge amounts of fibre and is expected to be a big driver of demand for the new network. <br /><br />Hope that's useful comment. <br /><br />Stephen Beynon<br />EircomStephen Beynonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03872225564971028375noreply@blogger.com
