FTTx Watch Service – 2010

The Ultra Broadband access market (FTTH/B and VDSL combined) is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, to reach close to 150 million subscribers around the globe by 2014. Naturally, the rate of progress will not be the same across the board, as each national market will be shaped by the country's intrinsic features and its players. Against a backdrop of pioneer rollouts and recent announcements, several questions emerge on the topic of FTTx:

• At what pace will FTTx networks be deployed, and using which technologies?

• What role will investments by cities and local authorities play over the long term? What can we hope for, or fear, from government stimulus packages that include support for the Ultra Broadband access market?

• What regulatory measures could impede operators' investments?

• What impact will FTTH have on the current broadband market and competition?

• What innovative services are currently available on FTTx networks? How are FTTx players marketing and pricing these services, compared to ADSL-based broadband services?

Our FTTx Watch Service is specifically designed to provide operators, vendors, government bodies, regulators and local authorities with a comprehensive analysis of the issues affecting this promising market.

In-depth market reports

• Public Funding & FTTx

In both Europe and the Asia-Pacific region (incl. Australia), we are seeing more and more government programmes devoted to stepping up FTTx coverage. This public authority involvement can be at the local or the national level, with most of the rollouts being open access networks. This report will focus on public initiatives in Europe, Asia- Pacific and North America. What best practices are we seeing? National vs. local funding: which is the most suitable solution? What role does regulation play in these public investments: promotion of active wholesale vs. infrastructure-based competition?

• Services over FTTx

TV-oriented services are clearly the main driving force behind current FTTx rollouts. Can we expect to see innovative TV services that will really use fibre's full capabilities: interactive TV? 3DTV? Aside from programming, other fibre-based solutions could also emerge, such as TV-based video communication. This report will analyse existing offers and, drawing on interviews with market experts, will explore the fibre-based services of tomorrow.

• IPTV over FTTx

The relationship between IPTV and FTTx is at the heart of this report which explores operators' key strategies through a detailed examination of their offerings. An analysis of existing technologies, combined with national market conditions, allows us to better understand the motives behind innovative solutions, and the respective issues inherent in the development of IPTV services and FTTx networks.

• NGA Regulation

As more and more FTTx rollouts are taking place across Europe, the regulatory framework is now gradually taking shape. Reactions to the European Commission's substantially altered draft recommendation run the full gamut, while NRAs continue to set the rules for their own national markets. This report will provide an overview of the current status of regulatory debates in the EU and in several of the major Member States. It will also analyse operators' positioning with respect to NGA regulation and highlight a number of critical issues, such as the ability to replicate bundled offerings.
