1. An optical network system for supporting multiple service providers, comprising:

  • a data service hub comprising;

    a first optical transmitter for modulating a first analog optical carrier having a first wavelength with a first electrical broadcast signal;

    a second optical transmitter a second analog optical carrier having a second wavelength with the second electrical broadcast signal;

    a first optical waveguide coupled to the data service hub and a laser transceiver node for receiving the first analog optical carrier and propagating it to the laser transceiver node;

    a second optical waveguide coupled to the data service hub and the node for receiving the first analog optical carrier and propagating it to the laser transceiver node, the node comprising a combiner for mixing the first and second analog optical carriers;

    a third optical waveguide coupled to the laser transceiver node and a subscriber optical interface for receiving the combined first and second analog optical carriers and propagating them to the subscriber optical interface; and

    the subscriber optical interface comprising a service provider selection device for selecting one of the analog optical carriers.
