Fiber to the home the new empowerment

Ever since the days of the caveman and his tom-toms, humans have used a bewildering variety of communication technologies: smoke signals, flags, copper wire pairs, coax, two-way or broadcast terrestrial and satellite radio, carriercurrent over power lines, point–point microwave, free-space infrared, and, of course, optical fiber. Out of this grab bag of delivery mechanisms, two stand out as likely to dominate all others as the twenty-first century unfolds: radio (wireless) for ubiquitous coverage with limited capacity and fiber for almost unlimited capacity but highly constrained coverage.
