| NOTAS: | "Research by Tarifica for this project reveals that European Dark Fibre market is embryonic at present. However there is substantial evidence it will be made increasingly available in the short term, over the next two years. This report estimates that capacity of Dark Fibre, measured in fibre kilometres currently stands at 2.33 million. Demand on Dark Fibre is increasing. European service providers have a growing need for high-capacity routes: to link their switches in various towns and cities; for backhaul from submarine cable landing stations & across borders; to satellite earth station sites and gateways. New entrants also see fuelled the need to buy dark Fibre as long-term solution." |
