Fiber, Bandwidth, and Those Crooks at WorldCom
Brad DeLong’s blog has a great discussion going about WorldCom’s recent write-down of the value of their fiber network (now valued at 1/4 of what they paid for it).
He seems to be sympathetic to the idea that they were blindsided by the advent of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) in the mid 1990s. I don’t think that’s the explanation, but check out the discussion and judge for yourself.
