In many countries telecoms operators have been converting some of their last-mile connections to high-speed fibre-optic links, though cable networks and telephone wires still account for most last-mile connections.
The low latency or delay inherent in high-speed fibre networks made possible novel uses of broadband, he said.
The sailing venue in Portland, Dorset, for example, will require the building of a high-speed fibre network which would be a good opportunity for BT to build a bigger local network after the event.
That's not to say that celery sticks - along with other high fibre, water-heavy fruits and vegetables - have no value as weight-loss aids.
Companies who are building their own managed intranets, such as Delta Three and Qwest, with its ultra-high capacity fibre network, will avoid congestion.
Part of the investment will be used to install high-volume composite carbon fibre manufacturing equipment.
Another is to use high-tech pressure vessels made of carbon-fibre.
Aside from its well-known purgative qualities, Mrs Oldroyd Hulme says that rhubarb is high in fibre, potassium, natural oestrogen (which helps prevent brittle-bone disease in women) and low in calories.
Consider celery, often proposed as a negative-calorie food due to its low-calorie count, high water density, and impressive fibre content.
The campuses of eight universities, one in each UEMOA country, will be equipped with fibre optic equipment and at least 200 computers with high-speed connection.
In an editorial in the same journal, Dr John Baron, of Dartmouth Medical School in New Hampshire, said short-term studies appeared to suggest there was no effect from high dietary fibre intake on bowel cancer risk.
Communities that are keen to obtain fibre-based broadband are being asked to publicly declare their desire for high-speed net access.
