The support for synch will opening a new part of the access market, namely the radio access networks that are used to connect base stations to higher nodes. Today they rely on highly synchronous SONET/SDH links, therefore a synchronous Ethernet link fulfilling the demands of SONET/SDH timing requirements is necessary for these applications. Keep in mind that it is strict legal demands on frequency stability radio antennas and this stability relates to the accuracy of clocks in the fixed network (that, in this case, will transported over Ethernet links).
