The major role that optical fibre plays in backbone networks is not only making it capable of carrying large amounts of telecommunication data traffic but also making it cost-effective. However, the decrease in backbone cost has so far been nullified by an increase in the cost of local loops. In Developing countries like India, fibre access networks are set to play a major role in expanding the teledensity. Fibre access is not only the most cost-effective access technology, but is also contributing to building a multiservice network integrating telephony, TV and video-on-demand services, in regard to the dense urban areas of India.
