1. Communicatiosn and internet are a big one. There are no line losses in fiber optics. Even audio in entertainment centers have a fiber optic input for this reason.
2. I don't know that much about fiber optics, but it is used for hi-fidelity data transfer, we use it for the audio transmission of good hi-fi stuff like between players and amps. It is more and more used for home Internet, the big towns increasingly change the old cables in fiber optics to provide a much bigger data transfer speed. And fiber optics are used for about a decade or more for oversea communication, Big fiber optics are crossing the oceans to provide fast communications.
3. We use the optic fiber in many places. http://www.toboc.com/forum3/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1004
