                  Access refers to the part of the network that connects the 
                    edge of the metropolitan area network to the end user premises.  
                  Over the last five years substantial investments in new equipment 
                    and infrastructure have been targeted at the core and the 
                    edge of the network improving network capacity and throughput. 
                    The access part of the network, however, still remains a bottleneck 
                    and presents the greatest opportunity for innovation and improvement.
