I'll add two to the list:
1 Why is the term "Legacy" often used and does it mean something other than "old way of doing things" 2. Why is a business customer called an "Enterprise" customer? Does it have something to do with the size of the customer? The type of customer? Or is it just a fancy name for a customer.

The difference between recommended standard (RS) and single-mode fiber (SMF) cable? 2. What is an indefeasible right of use (IRU)? It is like a right-of-way? 3. What are the differences in the various capacities of cable (DS-3, OC-192, etc.). Not just the amount of capacity each has, but what types of information are transmitted along each. 4. What is a synchronous optical network (SONET)? 5. What is asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)? 6. What is synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH)? I think this is used in Europe, but I'm not sure. 7. What is a bi-directional line switched ring (BLSR)? 8. What is throughput capacity? 9. What does the term "long haul" mean? 10. I still don't have a grasp of the 10% rule. Unfortunately, I think I need this one spelled out in the most basic terms. I have many more questions, but I think this is a good start. Thanks.
