This was on JDSU RB board. Doesn't this reveal indirectly NVEI's potential market?

Don't you believe it. Even if 70% of the fiber in the ground isn't "LIT" yet that is not the coming market.
All the fiber that is out there now is backbone and at most runs to the COs. All the runs from the COs to houses and most businesses is still copper. The next big market is to replace all the wire you see above ground with fiber. First to the poles and then to the drops and then inside the buildings themselves. The total amount of footage dwarfs the amount of fiber that has been used so far.
All of the above is my opinion - ya know. Do not invest on my say-so.
