  1. SEMINAR ON “IP CABLECOM”Brussels, 18 October 2001 “ETSI‘s APPROACH TO IP CABLECOM“ Karl Heinz Rosenbrock ETSI Director-General Seminar on "IP Cablecom", October 2001

  2. ETSI’s COMPETITION GUIDELINES

  3. ETSI aims at: • a coherent set of standards • a single standard in any area • If not achievable: • open to standards on competing solutions, if required by members • no conflicting standards allowed • ETSI shall not exclude standards for market reasons • ETSI shall ensure: • interoperability and/or • interworking between its standards

  4. Internet Protocol Cable Communications (in short IPCablecom)

  5. What is IPCablecom? (1) • a technology for Internet access • uses a cable TV infrastructure • faster and cheaper Internet access • direct competition with other ONP networks such as PSTN, ISDN or leased lines

  6. What is IPCablecom? (2) • so much bandwidth, can be used for "anything" • almost independent from classical network operator • gives users more choice • creates new opportunities for suppliers and operators • fosters competition • complements policy laid down in Local Loop Directive • real alternative to local loop unbundling

  7. IPCablecom for Europe

  8. IPCablecom for Europe • international and regional standardization of IPCablecom • co-operation with SCTE • each region has specific requirements • ETSI’s target isto make IPCablecom fit for Europeto allow seamless interoperability

  9. New technologies and existing infrastructures

  10. Interoperability • the user does not care about technology– he/she wants a good service! • interoperability - a key issue in telecommunications • standards have to ensure interoperabilitybetween all different typesof telecommunications networks • interoperability is also neededbetween the Internet and other networks

  11. Open Questions • does the ONP Directive extend to IPCablecom? • should it? • should the same requirements (e.g. QoS) apply? • what about Lawful Interception and Security issues?

  12. Advice for ETSI TBs • For IPCablecom • workable solutions are fortoday • perfect solutions are for tomorrow • write good standards for the market, not the bookshelf • strive for interoperability • provide expertise and/or input to the TBswhenand where required • strive to improve standards,not to slow down the process • consider the significance of ONP and number portability

  13. Conclusions • IPCablecom offers competition • IPCablecom offers customers freedom of choice • some regulatory questions to be answered • IPCablecom standards work alongsidetraditional telecommunications standards • business as usual • ETSI welcomes IPCablecomas a new telecommunication infrastructurein Europe

  14. ETSI's experience has clearly proven…
