In this article, the authors present an operator's view on the evolution towards optical fiber telecommunication networks. First we describe the evolution of standards related to optical fiber. Then we propose a description of hot topics concerning fiber infrastructure over three areas of the telecommunication networks (transport, access, and home). Finally we highlight the key challenges related to fiber-based optical communication networks.
