This report presents fiber deployment data and associated information for  !Vinterexchange carriers, incumbent local telephone companies, and competitive  !providers of exchange access or local exchange service who have constructed their own fiber facilities.  !Current estimates indicate that interexchange carrier fiber miles of fiber in place  !lincreased by more than 30% in 1998. For entities providing long haul fiber  !Vmileage data over 3.6 million fiber miles have been installed. Incumbent local  !telephone companies reported more than 16 million fiber miles in place at the end  !of 1998. Of that amount, the Bell companies reported about 13.8 million fiber  !miles an increase of about 13%. Competitive providers of local telephone  !services who are included in this year's study had in place about 3 million fiber miles by the end of 1998.  ! The report presents additional data, such as fiber investment and lit fiber, to the  !extent such information is available. For the largest incumbent local telephone  !}companies, the report also includes limited information on the use of fiber and copper in the plant associated with subscriber loops.  !This report is available for reference in the FCC's Information Center at 445 12th  !Street, S.W., Courtyard Level. Copies may be purchased by calling International  !Transcription Services, Inc. at (202) 8573800. The report can also be downloaded  `4 !from the FCCState Link internet site maintained by the Common Carrier Bureau  !k(http://www.fcc.gov/ccb/stats Infrastructure web page, file names: FIBER98.ZIP  !and FIBER98.PDF).
