FTTx - Experiences and Strategies - Filling the pipe of the NGN

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 22, 2008 – Nowadays, many companies and governments in Europe, America and Asia are exploring the potentials of FTTx technologies for the consumer market. At present, Europe seems to be lagging behind Asia and America with the deployment of FTTx technologies. Especially Japan and South Korea are leading countries as regards the implementation of fibre optic technology in the access network. In fact, numerous different factors have an impact on the degree of FTTx development in each country. Also, the type of the FTTx actor has an influence on the chosen strategy, business model and technology. Especially in Europe, a panoply of different actors has dived into the FTTx deployment going from housing companies, local interest groups, city councils, power utilities, ISPs, cable TV operators, city car- riers to incumbents. Taking into consideration that every FTTx strategy is or has to be based on a rather individual context, InfoCom’s FTTx report will highlight business models and service approaches by leading European, Asian and American actors. 2 hours workshop/conference included.
