  • Abstract
    Although there is perhaps an acceptance that EON has benefits, there is a debate about whether a full flexgrid implementation is required to achieve those benefits. Current industry debate addressed in this paper relates to when is the most appropriate time for carriers to: (a) install flexgrid ready components, and (b) enable them and start using the technology.
