The FTTH Council and the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) released an updated list of 128 communities across the U.S. that are engaged in FTTH deployments. The list shows that FTTH deployments continue to be driven by municipalities, competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) and new residential developments. Analysis of these deployments shows a significant increase in FTTH subscribers, with average subscriber take rates exceeding 40% overall and more than 75% in some communities, according to the groups. http://www.ftthcouncil.org

From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about FTTH. Here is what it replaced:
ADSL / ADSL2+ served from 1999. What ultimately replaced it?
ADSL / ADSL2+ split the copper-loop spectrum into hundreds of DMT subcarriers, assigning most bandwidth downstream; reach and rate fell off sharply with loop length. Its job passed to FTTH — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
