[With demonstrations like this it is not inconceivable to imagine a world
where every research institution, if not researcher, would have its own long
haul 10 Gbps wavelength.  ROADM and ULH techniques may also allow all the
active optical elements for wavelength insertion and removal be located at
customer premises, while the core of the network consists of solely
broadband optical amplifiers and ROADMs.  This will allow systems
integrators and other organizations to deploy condominium wavelength
networks where very participating institution or enterprise can manage its
own set of long haul wavelengths.  Thanks to Olivier Martin and Harvey
Newman for this pointer -- BSA]


FYI, 1,000 channel WDM transmission is successfully demonstrated in an 
installed optical fiber for the first time in the world
- 126 km-span transmission trial on the JGN II testbed -
