Q1. A- Read the following passage carefully then answer (5) of the questions that follow. (10Ms) Fibre optics is used by many telecommunication companies to transmit telephone signals, internet communications and television signals. Fire optic cables have large advantages over copper wire in long distance and high demand applications. However, fibre optic systems seemed to be complicated and expensive to install and operate. Because of these difficulties, fibre optic communication systems have primarily been installed in long distance applications, where they can be used to their full transmission capacity. Since 2000 the prices for fibre optic communications have dropped largely. The price for rolling out fibre to the home has currently become more expensive than that of rolling out a copper based network. Prices have dropped in the USA and in countries like Netherlands, where digging costs are low. Since 1990s the systems have become commercially available. The telecommunication industry has laid a vast network of underground and underwater fibre communication lines. By 2002, an international network of 250,000 km of submarine communication cable was completed. 1.

How did fibre optic systems seem to be? - Fibre optic systems seemed to be complicated and expensive to install and operate. 3.
