Due to the high costs associated with the deployment of the passive infrastructure of FTTH networks, operators ponder … economic aspects of network sharing in FTTH/PON architectures. The capabilities of present and future versions of PON … architectures and the cost implications of a network sharing model are described. Moreover, the minimum price of the access line …

VDSL and G.fast Vectoring are transmission technologies over copper access line pairs enabling the transmission of … higher bandwidth to the end customers, but harm the infrastructure based competition using physical unbundled copper lines …

by European governments the deployment cost is analysed to assess options for extending the profitable coverage of FTTH …. In this paper a bottom-up cost model is applied to determine the investment and cost of deploying and operating a FTTH … network in Germany on a national level. The monthly cost per subscriber at rising penetration is compared with the Average …

From all available FTTH architectures we concentrate on the two most relevant architectures in Europe, Ethernet … bottom-up cost modelling approach. We model the total cost of the services considered under efficient conditions, taking into …

overall network cost to be considered (depending on the location of the demarcation point) the traffic share of the voice … termination service (which determines how much of the relevant cost is borne by voice termination) compared to all the other … services sharing the same NGN/ NGA network needs to be taken into account. We analyse the cost effects with a cost model, which …

The objective of this paper is to identify factors promoting deployment of Japanese FTTH in the competitive … process, however, is that the share of NTT locals in the FTTH market locals has been increasing and reached more than 70 …

Based … on the demand estimation we find that consumer valuation of FTTH broadband in 2013 increased over time while ADSL lost on … attractiveness relative to FTTH but also in absolute terms, which suggests that consumers increasingly care about the speed of …
