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 …

for highest bandwidth and quality for end-users and which no longer rely on copper cable elements. These are FTTH … architectures only. 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 …

to lower entry cost for alternative operators and encourage competition on the FTTX market. The analysis is centred on …

whether or not fibre access networks should be subject to the same regulation as the copper local loop. This debate is often …, coverage, competition, innovation and prices/cost. Such an option corresponds to the choice of several European national …

This study provides preliminary insights into how fiber to the home (FTTH) networks affect competition in the broadband … Internet access market, and how, and if, competition on FTTH networks can be sustained. This study focuses on the Netherlands …, a fast growing FTTH market with regulation mandating unbundling. Even though it is too early to paint a full picture of …
