Next Generation Access Networks will enable much higher bandwidths than copper based access networks. Although technological progress provides for higher bandwidth on copper as well, most experts agree that next generation access networks finally will be based on fibre optic cables in the entire...

Traditional (incumbent) network operators are mainly not in the position or willing to deploy a fibre-based broadband communication network financed by private capital to 100% and there will be areas where the roll-out of such networks will not be likely. There will be cases in which a network...

Over the last few years, many discussions have centred around the issue of interconnection rates and their economic impact on the market. Interconnection charging in Europe is still based mainly on the calling party pays (CPP) principle combined with element based charging (EBC). Due to the...
