  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. The paper discusses the issues carriers have been facing in the access and metropolitan networks (the areas where most capital spending is still happening), and how these networks are evolving using next generation technologies and what factors are most important to them. It also discusses the technologies that are being deployed by carriers in emerging markets and how some of them may be applicable to Pakistan.
