Will, I think you also need to consider the case where one operator runs more than one network. This can happen because of acquisition or administrative structure. I regret it might also happen because of vendor equipment compatibility/lock-in issues. Cheers, Adrian

Reading about OTN networks, I see that "IrDI" is specified to handle the case where one OTN network needs to connect to another natively with OTN signals. Is this done in the real world? Does OTN network operator A ever go to OTN network operator B and say, "I'd like to buy a OTU2 from city X to city Y on
your
long haul network (at buildings J and K where we can connect simply with short-distance SMF/1310 signals), and what TCM levels can you give me?" I understand this in the case of lit 10GbE-WANPHY, LAN, and OC-192, but are
OTU
"lit" signals bought and sold wholesale this way too? Is there generally a
price
premium over the more normal client signals? -Will Orton
