The Information Super Highway concept has gained great popularity recently. If the super highway is to be realised it will almost certainly be built mainly using optical fibres. The British Telecoms research group in this area has long been acknowledged as a leading force in developing optical communications technology. In this book they set out the technology necessary to build the super highway of the future.
