As someone who has priced and engineered these services from the carrier side, what you have to do is request maps. If it's a layer 3 service you also need to make sure the two terminating routers are fed diversely. It's pretty common to be able to get a Google Earth KMZ file of the physical path, but expect to pay much more because last mile diversity usually requires construction.
Honestly, you probably don't have the redundancy you think you do. I see this crap all the time from the other side. Some hospital or bank orders two connections from Telco A and Telco B, and Telco B turns around and buys the local access from Telco A. Even if the local loops are different facilities, it's almost certain the same long haul fiber is being used. You'd get better reliability if you ordered diverse service from Telco A, then they would know and be able to control both paths.
Willing to bet but not willing to read, I guess. It's 10gbps Fiber to the HOME service over NGPON2, which can delivery 10gbps max per customer, 40gbps max per PON. This is actual internet access.
In my brief time in Silicon Valley I noticed that there's an attitude that you can fix any problem by applying more technology. Doing a good job is for people too old or dumb to go for technological solutions. It's some dangerous magical thinking.
Why do they need an IP address for IoT? A better solution is to have a controller device that is hopefully not chinese garbage which communicates to the cheaper devices using Zigbee or another lower layer network protocol. That reduces the cost of end devices and the implications of their cheap security.
Most industry standards I know are patented to hell and back. About 30% of every smartphone's cost is from patent royalties. If the patent is on some good technology, other companies will pay the royalty. Not all IP is rounded corner bullshit. http://www.androidauthority.co...
A few things will offset this. One is the trend towards a larger number of smaller base stations, whether these are just compact towers or microcells. Rather than a huge tower fed by a bundle of copper and dedicated fiber pairs, there can be smaller pole mounted cells fed by GPON. Another thing is the fact that these wavelengths will reflect and bounce around and the new technology will use that with beam forming and MIMO. All of the 5g experimental antennas I've seen are actually arrays of a large number of small antennas that are modulated independently.
Since it's government owned it's fair game for sanctions related to things like blowing up airliners in Ukraine and civilians in Syria. This doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the content, although that probably doesn't help.
All optics > 40gbps are running some sort of phase shift modulation, up to 16 and larger QAM constellations. These are referred to as 'coherent' optics, although all lasers are coherent so I'm not sure who came up with that as the standard way to refer to them.
You can actually get 10G residential service now, using a different Nokia equipment using NGPON2 from EPB in Chattanooga. You're right about this Terabit announcement summary though, this is an idiotic summary comparing a train to a shopping cart.
Here's a bigger reason. How do you play bit torrent content in a browser or app? How do you control access to the content based on accounts? How do you prevent Joe Blow Wireshark Pro from noticing that Senator Blowhard McJesus has been binge watching R rated slasher flicks? I'm sure they can all be overcome with some coding and customization, but they've already done that work for their existing solution.
I think you're missing the point of these appliances. Netflix has plenty of capacity to host all its content in central locations. These appliances are installed at the ISP offices so that the content is as close to the subscriber as possible. That way the quality of the video is not dependent on the quality of the long-haul network from the ISP back to Chicago, Dallas, Ashburn, London, Frankfurt or wherever. It also reduces the IP transit costs of the ISP, which they are typically paying for based on utilization if they are not a Tier 1 like AT&T. It also reduces their transport costs. If the ISP has to upgrade from two 10gbe pipes to four, that's probably going to hit their bottom line for $10k to $20k a month. If installing some caching appliances helps them delay that upgrade by a year, that's a massive benefit.
The ones complaining loudly mostly objected to competition with their own video product. ISPs that aren't also cable companies or have some other ulterior motive love these caching devices because they dramatically reduce their transport/transit costs and increase customer satisfaction. The colocation objection was smoke and mirrors crap. These things take up less space than some T1 muxes.
How about routers, switches, 4G and now 5G wireless base stations, FTTH network and customer prem equipment, optical transport and switching equipment, DSL and POTS equipment, and software to manage all of the above. There is also revenue from professional services installing and maintaining all of the above. Nokia also earns quite a bit of royalties on patents they have accumulated over the years.
How exactly was it a "kick up telco's world dominance"? Was it not an AT&T exclusive? You really have to stretch your imagination to find anything underdog-ish about Apple or the iPhone.

AT&T and TW do not compete. Centurylink and Level3 do not compete (for residential service).
Bit is an abbreviation of Binary Digit. If it can have more than 2 values it's not a 'bit', it's a 'symbol'.
He's probably on an encrypted VPN, and the equipment being used supports AES encryption at layer 1 between the residential user and the ISP.
Not sure what he's signed up for, but the NGPON2 technology is capable of 10G up as well.

Many of them got a 10gbe link for the LTE rollout. The rest got 1gbe links, but those can be upgraded to 10G by swapping optics on both ends.

HMD Global is in Finland and consists primarily of former Nokia employees.
Why not? These are phones, not naval vessels.
The hilarious thing about this summary is that both Google Fiber and Verizon FiOS already use Nokia equipment.

That's why it was renamed the Montero when sold between the Atlantic and Pacific.
