Optical Tape Storage

Dear comp.arch.storage'rs,

I have searched the group for information but have failed to come up
with much. I wanted to ask what the current thinking was on optical
tape storage. Who are the people developing it? Is there a possibility
that it will replace magnetic tapes? Who do you see as early adopters?
What are some of the barriers to widespread usage? What are the
relevant substitutes?

I would be much obliged for any and all information, links to web
content or people who would be happy emailing about this subject.

Thanks for your time and info,

Max
