World Optical Fibre and Cable conference 2016

China is the most influential force in the global industry: its share of the world market has grown exponentially through recent history, from 23% in 2005 to 56% at the present time. In 2015 alone, China's largest cable customer, China Mobile, installed more optical cable than all the customers in North America, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe combined. China’s impressive demand is only one side of the story.
