Optical networks facts and docs

I (Paolo) work in CSELT (Turin, Italy), the italian research center for telecommunications. I have to design (and/or) test optical systems for the access networks. Quite hard, but sometime's funny...

In this page I inserted a small form that can be useful to exchange info about the customer premises optical cabling to provide large bandwidth services.

Recently I added a little survey to discuss about this topic; please give me some feedback.

You can find a more detailed list here.

To have a more detailed view of the status of the telecommunication market in Italy and how is growing the broadband network in general have a look at this small press review (some of the articles are in italian):
