  1. Moving Towards a Very High Speed Europe Eicta Position on Next Generation Access (NGA) I2010 meeting – Brdo – May 13th & 14th 2008 Jean Pierre Lartigue - EICTA on

  2. 1. Predictions for the Future 2. Importance of NGA 3. Political push for a Very High Speed Europe 4. Removing Obstacles to Investment : Civil works and passive infrastructure sharing 5. Digital divide, Avoiding the gap: Public policy actions

  3. 1. Predictions for the Future

  4. Consumers Growing Needs Require a Bold Approach to Very High Speed Broadband Access Future broadband - Policy approach to next generation access - OFCOM Sept 2007

  5. 2. Importance of NGA

  6. Starting point for FTTx: The Bandwidth Equation VDSL – CO ~50 Mbps ADSL - CO ~12 Mbps FTTH - SDU 100 Mbps+ FTTH - MDU 100 Mbps+ FTTN - VDSL ~50 Mbps FTTB - VDSL ~100 Mbps Drivers: upfront CAPEX, competition, time-to-market

  9. 3. Political Push for a Very High Speed Europe: The Cases of UK and France

  10. Example of National Initiative: UK Very High Speed Broadband Projects • Case Analysis “South Yorkshire Digital Region” • Four local UK authorities in South Yorkshire region created “Digital Region” project • Create BB infrastructure to spur economic regeneration and bridge Digital Divide • The project will sell wholesale access to ISPs using FTTC with speeds up to 50MBit/s • Provide NGA to 600 000 homes (i.e 1.3M citizens) and 40 000 businesses across region • Case Analysis “BT and Ebbsfleet trial” • BT Openreach: fibre local access at Ebbsfleet Valley in North Kent in a new build zone • The trial is intended to gauge what demand exists for very high speed broadband • Connect 10 000 homes, 6M feet of commercial space and 3 M ft of retail, leisure and community facilities with speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s • This will be offered on a wholesale basis to all UK Communications providers

  11. Example of National initiative: French Very High Speed Forum Recommendations • Aim: 4M subscribers by 2012 with measures to reduce costs 1.  Reduce the cost of wiring buildings • Measure 1: Ensure the pre-wiring of new buildings • Measure 2: Facilitate operators’ access to existing buildings • Measure 3: Ensure that « in-building » wiring is shared among between operators 2.  Reduce civil engineering costs • Measure 4: Regulate duct offers • Measure 5: Facilitate operator access to existing ducts (electricity, telecoms, sewers…) • Measure 6: Promote VHS BB for businesses with the creation of a “Very high-speed business area” label • Measure 7: Allow favorable (public domain) fees for empty or shared ducts • Measure 8: Improve knowledge of existing ducts by public domain managers 3 - Ensure access for all • Measure 9: Ensure that part of the digital dividend benefits to rural areas 4 - Reinforce R&D and the development of usages • Measure 10: Reinforce R&D and development of innovative VHS BB service with competitive clusters • Measure 11: Set up one or more large- scale experimental platforms, supporting pilot VHS pilot services

  12. 4. Removing Obstacles to Investment : Improving cost of civil works and Passive infrastructure sharing

  13. A Mix of Market and Policy approaches will be needed POLICY DRIVEN Underserved BB area High cost/subscriber No private FTTH MARKET DRIVEN Fast service take rate Mass market dense area Natural competition SUBURB-1 SUBURB-1 Risky business case CAPITAL Positive business case RURAL-1 No business case URBAN URBAN RURAL-2 RURAL-3 Alternative private fibre networks in many European Capitals Open community networks required in underserved areas

  14. Public funding is key to achieve 100% coverage 100% Retail, Service applications, Network Retail, service applications Network & IP Wholesale Private Sector Retail, Service applications, Network, infra resources Optional:IP Wholesale Dark fiber roll-out and renting Labeling / Pre-cabling Build of Primary infra Investment (%) Optional: Dark fiber roll-out Public Sector Labeling / Pre-cabling Access to public infrastructure Access to public infrastructure Area types Market Driven e.g. Tier 1 cities Risk Driven e.g. Tier 2 & suburban Policy Driven e.g. rural Civil work ~600 €/subs ~1200€/subs ~4000 €/subs Total Pay back ~4 years ~8 years > 20 years

  15. Several practices of sharing in progress Risk Driven Joined re-use of ducts or dark fibre CO CO FFP CO CO Private Ducts / fiber Market Driven Policy Driven Sharing Dark Fiber in the Building Local community as IP Wholesaler SP1 SP2 SPx Wholesaler CO Fiber Flexibility Point Building Private Private Building owners Public

  16. National public coordination must be promotedAnd already active in several Member States Government Ministries of Industry, Housing, civil Works, Economy,… Local Communities Municipal network managers Telecom Industry Market experts Network operators incumbent and CLECs

  17. Need to Reduce Passive Infrastructure Costs Passives Total 50 % 15% 20% 10% 5% Trench Sharing Ducting Aerial Local Coherence: Investors Coverage Optimised Civil Engineering Reference Agenda Civil Works IMPACT FACTORS

  18. 5. Digital Divide – Avoiding the Gap: Public Policy Actions

  19. Recommendations on Public Policy Actions • European institutions should invite Member States to adopt pro-active policies aimed at spurring NGA investment and preventing the Digital Divide through: • 1- Creation of Next Generation Access Forums • Must address deployment in suburban and rural areas • 2- Establishment of national Very High Speed Broadband Strategies • Need broadband coverage to 30% European population by 2010 and 40% European population with Very High Speed by 2012 • 3- Close involvement of local communities in the definition of Very High Speed broadband strategies • Public Funds should be encouraged to support local investment in ICT infrastructure open to all players

  20. Recommendations on Public Policy Actions con’t • 4- Confirmation of technology and architectural neutrality • Fibre paradigm is different from copper and need flexible approaches according to investment requirements • 5- European institutions need to play an active role by supporting local communities in above mentioned actions • EICTA invites them to create public forums addressing best practices for NGA deployment in urban, sub-urban and rural areas
