Abstract
Today's research shows that the future capability of optical communica tion technology vastly exceeds the use that we make of it today. The r esult is that opportunities are now opening up to completely bypass la rge parts of established telecommunication networks with immensely pow erful new networks having very different properties to the long-establ ished ones. 'Free' bandwidth may soon be a near reality with major con sequences for today's network operators.
