Quick (and critical) correction:

bar charts on the ***left*** are from *NOGs;
bar charts on the ***right*** are from commissioned market research.

Cheers,

The picture changes significantly when an operator's choice is weighted by
his current subscriber base.
Evidently, incumbents have lots of copper media, while smaller operators
(more agile?) are laying fibre and mostly growing GPON on it.

Rebuttals are welcome !

I've updated the graphic

with one other data point and increased the graphic's size (following
feedback).

In particular, I'd like to understand why there are so many operators who
consider Active Ethernet (p2p)
to be their largest and/or fastest growing access technology.

Would anyone care to give an opinion / interpretation / perspective /
other ?

Cheers,

Good people of NANOG,

Please find here
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eZZeqbDaTj6nSJJDdK0iu5Xm9Z_691rR/view?usp=sharing>
a snapshot of two datasets concerning access technologies in the metro area.

The bar chart on the right summarizes data I collected last year from
*NOGs;
the bar chart on the left summarizes data received last year from Tier 1
and/or regional operators (incumbents).
The y-axis shows cumulative responses for an option; the x-axis shows
(hopefully unambiguous) monikers for the access technologies.

Would anyone care to comment on how well this matches his/her perception
of the current state of deployments?

Cheers,

Etienne
