Fueled by a seemingly never-ending demand for backhaul capacity in both fixed and mobile broadband networks, optical transport revenues will grow to almost $19 billion by 2016, according to Dell'Oro's new Optical Transport forecast report.

One element that will see the continued growth in the optical transport segment will be DWDM transport, which is expected to grow at a 10 percent compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years, reaching $12 billion.

Jimmy Yu, Vice President of Optical Transport Market Research at Dell'Oro Group, argues that there will be three key trends that will drive growth in the optical market during the period.

Among those trends will be the ongoing shift to packet-based equipment, the growing use of OTN, MPLS, and MPLS-TP for both transport and switching, and the increasing demand for 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps DWDM.

In particular, the increasing demand for 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps DWDM systems will "contribute about 60% of the DWDM sales by 2016."

Telmex has put wireline broadband on its list as a key initiative, one that includes a mix of hybrid copper/fiber and Fiber to the Home (FTTH) networks. To reach that goal, the service provider is leveraging VDSL2 and GPON equipment, including its ISAM platforms from Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU) to deliver a suite of higher broadband data and video services.

Serving as a means to backhaul and manage its broadband and video traffic, Telmex will also deploy IP/MPLS Carrier Ethernet solution.

The agreement with Alcatel-Lucent is part of Telmex's broader effort to expand VDSL2 and fiber-based broadband to connect what it says will be millions of homes to high speed broadband services.

In late 2010, the service provider began upgrading its wireline broadband network with up to 20 Mbps speed capabilities to more effectively compete with cable competitors.

After a long streak of skyrocketing earnings, HTC's climb towards the stars seems to have stalled. Q4 was not kind to the company and CFO Winston Yung thinks he knows the reason why. During the today's earnings call Yung admitted that HTC "dropped the ball" with its selection of LTE devices. He conceded that the bulky handsets simply failed on a design and spec level -- especially when it came to battery life -- and were not selling nearly as well as expected. Unsurprisingly, the company promises to turn its fortunes around with the next product cycle, which is rumored to kick off at MWC with the Ville.
