Broadband benefits society Increased broadband penetration is estimated to increase Irish GDP by €4 billion by 2010 10% of British Telecom employees work from home or offices with remote access, which has reduced travel with ~69 million miles per year A 4% broadband growth could give 1.8 million jobs and $132 billion in payroll over 10 years in California Telstra's mobile broadband enables productivity gains of 9-27% USD 2.15 saved on each electronically filed U.S. tax return – Error rate reduced from 20% to less than 1% Emergency rooms in Arizona connects rural doctors with urban specialists Source : Ericsson
Fixed access Fixed/nomadicwireless Mobile access xDSL WiMAX GSM/EDGE Fiber (PON & P2P) Fiber/VDSL2 ”Fixed Mobile HSPA/LTE” WCDMA/HSPA Cable (DOCSIS2 3) Satellite/Terrestrial LTE Unlicensed (WiFi etc) CDMA2000 EVDO Others Mobile WiMAX Broadband comes in many flavors
Bandwidth Requirements Source: Teresa Mastrangelo, www.convergedigest.com • Case 1: 2 SDTVs + High speed Internet + Telephony ->~6 Mb/s • Case 2: Case 1 + HDTV + VoD + PVR …. -> 20 to 100 Mb/s
GDP vs. BB penetrationORG. FOR ECONOMIC CO-OP. AND DEVELOPMENT Strong correlation between BB penetration and GDP per capita- not specific for fiber
Moldova with current 4,2% BB penetration level is very far from average European level of 22% of BB penetration Source: EC Progress report on the single European electronic communications market 2008
Main constrains in developing BB in Moldova • Fixed telecommunication market de facto is not liberalized, access to existing local loop and associated infrastructure is restricted and is too concentrated • High costs required for fiber infrastructure development limit possibilities of alterative operators to invest in access infrastructure • Reduced demand for BB from governmental sector due to limited available e-Gov services • Unsteady and reduced interventions into the market of National regulator, ANRCETI, for stimulating competitiveness and telecom market development

BB in Moldova - possible ways of moving forward Fixed BB focus area: • Further development of the fixed infrastructure based on xDSL, but mostly based on FTTx/GPON and Ethernet-to-Home technologies • De-monopolization of access to the existing canalization used for telecom infrastructure purposes • Improving the interconnection regulatory framework and ensure fair competition for all telecom players for access to local loop, mainly owned by Moldtelecom • Creating favorable conditions for appearing newly infrastructure operators for running independent public fiber optic community networks, like MAN (Metropolitan Access Network)
Key capabilities: Capacity growth Resource control Service Priority QoS Availability Copper Fiber Transformation to Deep Fiber Access • High demanding services (i.e., interactive and personalized HDTV) and users drives need for deep fiber access 3 – 4 km CommonTransport 1 –2 km Local exchange FTTN (VDSL2): ~20 Mbps ADSL: up to 8 Mbps ADSL2+: up to 24 Mbps FTTC (VDSL2): ~50 Mbps Classic DSL FTTB (VDSL2): ~100 Mbps FTTH (GPON & P2P) : 100 - 2500 Mbps Deep Fiber Access Source : Ericsson
BB in Moldova - possible ways of moving forward (cont) Mobile BB focus area: • Further development of mobile infrastructure based on WCDMA, HSPA, LTE evolution technologies • Granting the preferential rights and conditions to mobile operators for using the limited radio resources for development and offering mobile BB services in rural area. For example, launching UMTS (3G) services in the 900Mhz spectrum used now by GSM operators • Granting fiscal facilities for infrastructure projects in rural area or public subventions in developing of passive infrastructure (towers and masts for base stations/fiber optic network) • Network Sharing, mainly of Radio Access Networks (RANs) by mobile operators • Network outsourcing to vendors will allow to reduce operators OPEX and increasing possibility for BB infrastructure development
