There have been some valid points made here. Fiber optic transmission is mostly the domain of telephone and CATV companies. Fiber to the desk so to speak is not likely to become reality in the near future, as CAT5E, soon CAT6 & 7, and WiFi will dominate LAN’s.

However your local CATV and telephone companies are in a huge race to get fiber optics to the curb or in your house. First one in wins a huge prize, bandwidth domination.
