“…These average values do not correspond to any specific type of fibre-or copper-based network in Europe; these values shall be understood as numbers that are on the order of magnitude of fixed access networks in a few countries in Europe. A few of these values were previously employed by the authors for a research study on the costs of FTTH networks (Rendon Schneir & Xiong, 2013). For the cost calculation, we have assumed that all cases are Multiple Dwelling Units (MDUs), with the household densities shown in Table 1.…”

“…Under current GPON that would require a number of fibers equal to 64 times the number of partners. See, however, RENDON SCHNEIR and XIONG (2013), who calculate that the cost Second, cable TV has made a major step forward with DOCSIS 3.0. Its QoS is very similar to that of GPON FTTH so that the substantially lower incremental cost of moving from conventional cable broadband to DOCSIS 3.0 than from DSL to GPON will give DOCSIS 3.0 a decisive advantage over GPON in countries with a large cable TV footprint.…”

“…While collusion seems sustainable with two firms, it is certainly less likely with four. At the same time, the business case for the co-investors seems to be worse if there are many co-investors (RENDON SCHNEIR and XIONG 2013). This may limit the occurrence of co-investment to very few investors.…”

The Endgame of Telecommunications Policy? A Survey

Telecommunications policy has come a long way from regulation of vertically integrated monopolies to the current state of competition. As competition becomes selfsustainable, will telecommunications policy in the form of industry-specific regulation go away or, if not, what form will it take? The economics literature suggests that the regulatory efficiency frontier is shifted by new technological and market developments, such as convergence of networks, fixed-mobile substitution (and integration) and next generation access networks. The frontier is also affected by the existing capital stock and other physical and institutional characteristics of a country. The insights from a review of the theoretical and empirical literature are applied to five policy areas. They are: (1) termination monopoly; (2) local bottleneck access; (3) net neutrality; (4) spectrum management; and (5) universal service. While in some of them, deregulation and a move to competition policy will soon be the efficient state of the art, regulation will remain efficient in others for some time. Deregulation will likely become efficient for one-way access and universal service, with the exception of some universal service policies in remote areas and for the poor. Termination will move to bill and keep with a duty to interconnect. In addition, some (more symmetric) regulation should persist for net neutrality in the form of transparency requirements, (quasi-) common carrier obligations and minimum quality standards. Also, spectrum management, while moving towards full-blown ownership rights, will continue to see regulators providing zoning and other services, particularly for unlicensed spectrum. All these assessments are premised on the success of making additional spectrum as the key resource available. They are also premised on the absence of a killer technology like P2P FTTH that potentially dominates all other technologies. What determines the endgame in telecommunications regulation? Although technical and market developments will dominantly shape the regulatory efficiency frontier, institutional and political economy factors have an additional and mostly slowing effect on policy changes.

“…Several Time Division Multiplexing TDM PON technologies are standardized for FTTH deployments, Table 1 summarizes these standards with their important parameters [3], [15], [21], [33]. The main disadvantage of TDM PON is that it not possible for different operators to physically share the same fiber.…”

This paper presents a step by step design and field implementation of a protected GPON FTTH access network serving 1000 users. The basic components of the network are presented and the contribution of each component to the architecture of the FTTH network is addressed. The design incorporates Class B protection, to provide redundancy in the feeder and GPON port, the practical implementation of a protected FTTH network is highly emphasized.
