Real broadband, real growth Dirk van der Woude Ontwikkelingsbedrijf Gemeente Amsterdam
Effect of infrastructure… • …like that of the British steam railways… • 1838 Netherlands: choice between speed barges or steam…
And WiFi was important too… • 1792 • Lille => Paris: • 15 stations • 36 characters in 32 minutes • all records broken, huge success • And up to 1848 cause for the French to forgo investing into a copper telegraphe network

Imagine a world without having the age of steam… • So let us be thankful for copper and coax! • however…
1999 - 2001: awareness Amsterdam • Can we be sure copper & cox networks are future proof • Practical speed • Parallel use (video) • Not able to sustain the city’s economic & social needs • Like continuing strong old and new media & ICT sector • Like citizens overwhelming web use (2006: > 85%) • “Living at a dirt road? Don’t buy a Ferrari” • Services follow infrastructure • Creative sector & citizens will find out use • Local government facilitates • Time for new network?
Amsterdam internet exchange: growth Worldwide peak speed records: July ‘05: > 50 Gb/s October ’05: > 100 Gb/s May ’06: > 154 Gb/s June’07: > 282 Gb/s

Shared capacity… • So: • Better live next • to the central office… • And of course still thereis this ‘contention’ thing… • Parallel speed? Ams-IX per sub:UPC 40 kbitsEssent: 60 kbitsXS4All: 67 kbits xDSL 8 - 14 Mb/s down, 0.7 – 0.8 Mb/s up Leaves for web use: ?

First user test of Amsterdam FttH • Advertised speed: 100 Mb up, 100 Mb down • In practice (first days): 88 Mb down
FttH, elsewhere in Europejust a pick (1) • France, the battle for & around Paris • Iliad: 1 million FttH at 1 billion Euro investment (City of Paris supporting) • Neuf Cegetel: in 2009 we want 250,000 FttH (50 Mbits) at euro 29,90 • France Telecom, 2007: FttH (100/10 Mbits at euro 44,90) in Paris, Poitiers, Marseille, Lille, Toulouse & Lyon. Target: 200,000 subs end 2008 • Noos Numericable, march 2007: “Massive investment towards FttH” • over 100 broadband projects France with communal participation • Nov. 2006, French government: 4 million FttH in 2012 • Germany: competitive teleco’s announcing FttH • f.e. NetCologne: all of Cologne, to be followed by Bonn, Aachen?(NetCologne = 100% GEW Köln AG = 100% City of Cologne) • Other projects in Schwerte, Norderstedt, Hamburg, Gelsenkirchen, Dessau, Magdeburg
FttH, elsewhere in Europejust a pick (2) • Vienna, Zürich (muni energy corp’s): • FttH in whole city • Norway: Hafslund energi (53% owned by City of Oslo) • FttH to half of Norwegian population • Sweden: • 200 of 289 communities own a fiber network • Denmark: energy corps doing FttH • 2008 – 2009 to 35% of homes (= 50% of population) • UK: • Oxfordshire project, part FttH (?), part Fiber/VDSL • Rest of UK, according to BT & DSG: “12/1 Mb is enough for all & ever.” “No fiber please, we ‘re British” • However, Ofcom report march 2007: “Last mile will have to be fiber”
Hauts-de-Seine: 700,000 connections • Western part of Greater Paris • pop. 1.5 million, 100.000 SME’s, 880.000 jobs, 85% in services • Per capita highest income of France • 2005, adoption of proposal by the Chairman of the Conseil General • FttH to all population and companies • With a maximum subsidy of euro 70 million • Said Sarkozy: “Copper is not gonna cut it, we need fiber”
FttH in the EU, some examples Problem for EU?

Architecture (1) • three-layer model • Passive fibre infrastructure: Point-to-Point • Unbundled local loop of fiber = maximum competition at upstream level in value chain • Largest capacity for future growth • Active layer: Active Ethernet • Applications services layer, Service providers are being offered transparent access: • with discrete virtual LANs (VLANs) for each service on a per user basis • allowing multiple services to be delivered and invoiced to each home in parallel (i.e. multiple ISP’s, Citywide Intranet, closed circuit IP-based surveillance, IP-TV, care and medical services etc.)
Architecture (2) • Open network • Concession of 8 years for operator/investor, after that more operators possible • Operator is non discriminatory wholesale seller of capacity • Why not x-PON • Avert risk of having to (expensive) re-digging • Labor costs dominate, will rise with inflation • Short distances, so savings on cost of material (fiber) are small • No lock-in of equipment supplier which stifles innovation • Impossible to have different technology/supplier per subscriber line
