“…A more in-depth analysis is outside the scope of this paper but can be found (including wireless access technologies) in [7]. We assess how much delay is introduced on and which bit rate can be reached over the last mile.…”

Ovum details the highest access bit rates currently offered by various access providers in the top ten most competitive access network markets in [26]. Where fiber to the premises (FTTP) is widely deployed, 100 Mbps is a common downstream access bit rate, while where digital subscriber line (DSL) or cable is still predominant, the downstream bit rate offered is in the range of 20 Mbps to 50 Mbps. Some studies [6,10,24] have investigated how the bit rate of the last mile link should evolve in order to support a future mix of broadband services. These predictions typically make a distinction between the portion needed for streaming services and the portion needed for data services. For the former service, often two competing trends are taken into account. On the one hand, a user consumes the streaming services at higher resolution requiring a larger bit rate, while on the other hand, multimedia compression

“…Optical fiber cables are lighter in weight, can support greater bandwidth and can cover greater distances compared to copper and coax due to fiber's low attenuation per kilometer (Fijnvandraat and Bouwman, 2006). On the negative side however, the installation and maintenance of fiber cables are complex and costly (Fijnvandraat and Bouwman, 2006).…”

“…Residential broadband platforms are available from an array of technologies. Fijnvandraat and Bouwman (2006) classify these transmission technologies into fixed and wireless local loop options. The fixed loop generally consists of copper, coaxial, or optical fiber-based platforms.…”

Digital subscriber lines (xDSL) belong to a family of technologies that provide the ability to transmit digital data over local telephone (copper) infrastructure. As the second most popular broadband platform in the United States, it is estimated that over twenty-five million xDSL lines are in service, capturing nearly 30 percent of the U.S. broadband market. While the service range of xDSL is somewhat limited, often extending to a maximum of 18,000 feet from a central office (CO), available bandwidth also decays as distance increases from the CO. As a result, there are often marked disparities in the quality of xDSL service within market areas. This article proposes a bi-objective location model for maximizing both service coverage and quality of coverage in siting digital subscriber line access multiplexers (DSLAMs). An application of the developed model highlights important implications for telecommunication policy.
