Optical fibers ready for autos,scientist says,p.8  \nAT&T's PHILADELPHIA-CHICAGO PROJECT TO BE AT LEAST AS LARGE AS NE CORRIDOR ROUTE  \nAT&T is now designing the Eastern Corridor,an East-Midwest optical fiber communica-tions route.It will cost at least as much as the $100 million budgeted for the NortheastCorridor route and will include at least as much optical fiber cable,sources have confirm-ed.The route is expected to include Philadelphia,Harrisburg,Pittsburgh,Cleveland,Ak-ron,Toledo and Chicago,sources told FIBER/LASER NEWS.  \nBell will release a request for propoals for the Eastern Corridor project sometimethis year.It might be preceded by a request for information,sources said.AT&T doesnot have to apply for FCC approval prior to the issuance of the RFP,an FCC official said.  \nThe system--expected to stretch more than 1,700 cable km--should be completed before1990,according to sources.\"I am sure they will move rather rapidly;the way has alreadybeen paved for them,\"one source noted.The optical fiber line can be stretched for dis-tances of 20-30 miles at points along the route having access to digital switches.Thesystem is expected to initially operate at 90 Mbps,and later be upgraded by wavelength-di-vision multiplexing to 270 Mbps,sources said.  \n…AS SOURCES PONDER EFFECTS OF FCC's DECISION AGAINST FUJITSU ON CHICAGO PROJECT  \nThe RFP will be aimed at 1 contractor,and sources conceded that Western Electric isthe odds-on favorite to win.An FCC official refused to say what,if any,impact the de-cision to contract the Northeast Corridor project to Western Electric would have on thedecision to pick an Eastern Corridor project contractor.\"The FCC's responsibility startswith an obligation to make sure the ratepayers are provided with the best facilities atthe lowest cost,\"the FCC source said.Because national security considerations wereraised,the source admitted the FCC's role is \"1imited\"in the Northeast Corridor decision.The commission source said that if foreign bidders are going to be disqualified from majoroptical fiber projects,they should be disqualified before the bidding process starts.  \nThe FCC has the authority to grant,deny,grant in part,or add various conditions tothe 214 applications Bell files.  \nThe FCC source noted that Western Electric has to buy 100 megameters of light wave fi-ber for the Northeast Corridor project over the next 3 years from outside concerns.Thecommission is expected to monitor this process through its own regulatory oversight powers,and manufacturers are to provide aid,as Corning has already done.The Northeast Corridorproject is expected to be completed by 1985 or 1986.  \nThere will be increasing pressure both within the U.S.and outside to have more ofthe production on major optical fiber lines be done by companies such as Fujitsu,sourcespredicted.\"Foreign products will be necessary in areas in which Western Electric simplydoes not have the products to compete,\"a source said.  \nSources said the Phildelphia-Chicago project is a natural extension of the NortheastCorridor project,and did not seem surprised that AT&T is now in the process of gearing itup.\"AT&T has pledged to wire the U.S with optical fiber,and its seems obvious that theyeventually will,\"one source said.  \nThe FCC source said the commission will perform a cost analysis for the Eastern Cor-ridor project similar to the one done for the Northeast Corridor project.The earlier stu-dy recommended using fiber optics instead of upgrading cable because fiber optics possessgreater potential,the 2 have similar economic benefits,and the project seemed as good achance as ","cbCaicSkxYATn1AM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicSkxYATn1AM","pdf",2970724,"English","# AT&T Philadelphia-Chicago Project To Be At Least As Large As NE Corridor Route\n## FCC decision discussion affecting Chicago project\n# AT&T Divestiture Moves Closer To Completion; Fiber Market Impact Not Considered Positive","[{\"question\":\"How does the report assess the potential impact of AT\\u0026T divestiture on introducing optical fiber technology?\",\"answer\":\"One source predicts divestiture could have detrimental impact and slow introductions, while another expects regional operating companies will integrate optical fibers without engaging in delaying tactics.\"}]","Fiber|Laser News - Biweekly Report on Optical Fiber and Laser Technology | PDF",1790703889,23]
