Digital Media Affecting Fiber Optics

Increased digital media is a benefactor when fiber optic cables or networks are utilized. Fiber optics and digital media complement each other. With higher demand for real-time video, the need for fiber optics support will significantly increase.
The trend that customers tend to follow is the desire of a bundled service with all fees and expenses being consolidated into one bill. Because of this very reason, major telecommunications companies resort to the "Triple Play" service where cable, voice, and internet are merged into one service propagating through one medium (fiber optics). Fiber optics tremendously increases bandwidth that seem unrealistic. Verizon offers up to 30Mbps download speed and 5Mbps upload speed. 30Mbps is more than enough bandwidth which will open the floodgates for digital media to flourish.
