  1. EURESCOM P1042Access Network Services for Service Providers A brief overview of the results

  2. The Problem ETP EU National Regulators Standards bodies Regulations for local loop unbundling IMPACTS !! Access Network Service Providers

  3. The scope of the Study Full unbundling Shared access High speed bitstream access • Network Solutions overview • Analysis of UALL products • Business Models for UALL • Role of the ULL Group within ETP • Impact of UALL on OSS • OAM processes concerning UALL • Economic Issues Deliverables 1 and 2 UALL Unbundled Access to the Local Loop ETP European telecommunication Platform OSS Operations Support Systems

  4. The Findings • Network Solutions • UALL products • Business Models for UALL • The ULL Group within ETP • OSS related issues • OAM processes related issues • Economic issues and costing principles • Recommendations to EURESCOM shareholders • Recommendations for further study

  5. Network SolutionsOption 1: Full unbundled Local Loop New local loop to provide high speed xDSL Access EU Unbundled Local Loop

  6. Network SolutionsOption 2: Shared Local Access to the Local Loop Shared Access use of 'Splitter'

  7. Network SolutionsOption 3: High-speed bit streamaccess

  8. UALL Components

  9. UALL products • Circuit provisioning related • Metallic Path Facility (MPF) • Share Access (High Frequency Path) using Splitter(SPT) • Tie Cable Connecting Service - MDF Side (TI-CON-MDF) • Tie Cable Connecting Service - HDF Side (TI-CON-HDF) • Bitstream Service • Plan and Build related • Local Access Provider Exchange Area Data (EAD) • LAC(OLO) Collocation Facility Plan & Build (OLO-ERM) • Hand-over Distribution Frame (HDF) • Internal Tie Cable (TIE-I), External Tie Cable (TIE-E) • Local Access Provider Egress (Backhaul) Set-up Service (APE) • Local Access Provider– Digital Private Circuit • OLO Operator External Tie Cable Pull Through Service (PTS) • Capacity forecast and reservation Service (CAPFOR) • Addition to xDSL Terminal Recommended Equipment List (ATREL) • Operational • Site Visit • Local Access Provider Line Characteristic Estimate (LCDE) • Spectrum Plan Policing & Enforcement (SPECTRUM) • Line test - In service (LT-IS)

  10. Business Models for UALL

  11. The ULL Group within ETP • Phase I finalised in June 2000 • Focus: • Full unbundling (Splitters & Bit stream not addressed) • Collocation • Industry best practise • Industry policy recommendation • (www. etp-online.org)

  12. OSS related issues • Role based • Business Model • Processes • between roles • Role of Cable Manager is important

  13. OAM processes related issues • Process Lifecycle: • Provisioning processes are complex • Flow diagrams in annexes to Deliverable 1 • Automation essential (practical & cost driven) • E-commerce technologies recommended

  14. Economic issues and costing principles • Economic issues: • Making Access a business in it own right? • Separation of Access into a business / trading division? • The role of automated OSS interfaces • Alternative technologies for access to bandwidthand the demand for ULL ? The future of ULL…? • Costing principles: • Cost accounting methodologies and charging principles • LLU specific set up and running costs • Allocating costs and definition of different unbundling charges • Rational for assigning costs to Connection and/or Rental charges • Fault and repair costs/prices • Geographical average

  15. Recommendations to EURESCOM shareholders • Introduction of the EU requirements for unbundled access to the Local Loop has significant business impacts • Structuring the access as its own business is possible • Alternative access technologies for bandwidth exist but only few of them are capable of decreasing the importance and the demand for ULL in the short run • The ULL cost principles assumptions have considerable variation across Europe • Historical cost models unlikely to be applicable in ULL • The ULL impacts to OSS are substantial • Considerable cost savings possible with automated transaction tools

  16. Recommendations for further study • Define ULL processes in more detail • Define automated OSS interfaces for ULL services • Define XML e-commerce interfaces • support for both B2B and e-commerce Hub models • Work with ETSI • More substantial economic cost modelling of ULL • Review the P614 and P901 studies • to take account of the significant development and set-up costs of OSS for ULL
