The limits of the nonlinear Shannon limit

Recent results about information theoretical limits in optical fibers are reviewed and the significance of what is commonly known as the nonlinear Shannon limit discussed. It is shown that this limit can be improved, while the actual channel capacity at high powers still remains substantially unknown.
