N2 - We discuss the challenges in assessing the theoretical limits to the throughput of fiberoptic communications systems and argue that the uncertainty of available information capacity limits is within a range of 1.17 bit/s/Hz. We show that record experiments are within 20 to 30 percent from these limits in terrestrial single-mode fiber systems for metro to long-haul transmission.
