Is Ethernet the new Telecom Backbone Circuit?

Growing up as Telco Dog for 20+ years, OK maybe even becoming an old Telco Dog, T1's or DS1's have been the Telecom backbone for as long as I can remember. T1's are used to connected PSTN (public switched telephone network) switches together, T1 Circuits connect PBX's and key systems to the PSTN network, T1's are the primary means of transporting most Internet circuits across the globe. Granted there are OC3's OC12's and many other faster bigger pipelines that carry data communications around the globe, but all those circuits use T1's as the building blocks for those faster circuits. An OC3 backbone carrier circuit is really 84 1.544mb T1's packaged together. We're finally seeing a new kid emerge on the block and that's Ethernet business service. The telco world is starting to embrace Internet Protocol connectionless architecture, where instead of massing together groups of 24 64kb voice circuits to make a T1 Circuit and them massing together those T1's into bigger pipes, Ethernet service is true bandwidth and is available by what the customer needs for their business. Ethernet allows the business to directly plug-in to the Internet Cloud reducing equipment required which dramatically reduces cost per Meg or Gig of bandwidth. Naturally Ethernet for business is a new product and just like early T1's, are only available in limited areas. T1's today are available everywhere, and eventually Ethernet Business service will be too. To see if Ethernet Service is available at your location check out ShorForEthernet.Com
