You can wait and run the risks of falling behind the competition. You can guess at the future and hope for the best. Or you can turn to ADC, the fiber experts . ○○○ ○○○○○○ C ONTROLLING C OSTS The cost of the physical network is small compared to the ongoing, labor- intensive outlay for installation, expansion, maintenance, and repair. A shortsighted purchase can start a never-ending cycle of expensive support. Worse still is the likelihood of premature obsolescence, which can turn yesterday's bargain into tomorrow's financial disaster. ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ As you add customers and services, the network helps you boost revenue without cutting into profits.
