In this context, Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is the most popular technique for introducing concurrency among multiple user transmissions into the network and, thus, exploiting the huge amount of fibre bandwidth available under the severe limitations imposed by electronics speed on the maximum network access rate.

The East Asian miracle resulted over the last four decades in a transformation of the region's traditional agrarian economies and significant increases in standards of living for many ordinary people. Even though it was given little attention, poverty has remained an ongoing problem. The problem became particularly evident however with the Asian financial crisis of 1997 when 410 0$aRoutledge research on public and social policy in Asia. 606 $aSocial security$zEast Asia 606 $aPoverty$zEast Asia 607 $aEast Asia$xSocial policy 615 0$aSocial security 615 0$aPoverty 676 $a362.5/561095 676 $a362.5561095 701 $aMidgley$b James$0247746 701 $aTang$b Kwong-Leung$0854858 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968390803321 996 $aSocial policy and poverty in East Asia$94497388 997 $aUNINA
