My 4500 - er - 2000 word article in Lightwave has been published

Lightwave Magazine just published an article I wrote for them on Next Generation PON. They asked for about 2000 words. I wrote about 4500. The longer version will be a nice white paper for customer use.

A few of the 2500 words cut out:

• apparently (17 instances)
  
• washboard
• alliteration
• marketability
• scurrilous
• fanciful
• popinjay
• scoundrel
• wanker (12 instances)
• netherworld
  

As I'm sure you can imagine, the longer version had a somewhat different target audience.
