  Be careful with your selection of FO cable.  What you can buy now
may not be what you want it the future.  The market has not really
selected standard cable -- yet.  To hedge on the selection you could
make a company decision instead of a cable decision.  That is, tell AT&T
or whoever to cable up your site.  Unfortunately, that might lock you
into one vendor but at least the vendor has the monkey on _its_ back.
