Data point: a "considerable" number of mobile ops worldwide are
pulling fibre to their Node-Bs or at least their RNCs. (No, wireline
types - not Republican National Committees, Radio Network Controllers
- you have one for every 10-15 Node-Bs, for a very rough idea)
Sources say the triggering event is the enablement of HSDPA (and
presumably Revision A for the CDMA world, although I haven't heard of
a CDMA carrier fibreing up yet). Some deployments so far have been up
to 2,000 cell sites with fibre backhaul.
