Emerging Markets Key to FTTH Growth for Vendors, Pyramid finds

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- FTTH accounted for 11 percent of total broadband lines in 2011. FTTH deployments have slowed in developed markets in the 2009-2011 period, but increased focus on service marketing combined with strong momentum in emerging markets have led to substantial growth in FTTH subscribers, according to Ozgur Aytar, Research Director and Pyramid's Practice Leader for Broadband and Media and Consultant behind Pyramid's new Fiber in the Last Mile Insight Pack.

The Fiber in the Last Mile Insight Pack offers analysis on FTTH/B network models, performance and economics, emerging services and products, service adoption trends and new business models for network operators. The Insight Pack's Report is delivered in PowerPoint format and accompanied by an Excel file that contains historical and projected data for the 2007-2016 period, including: broadband service adoption by technology, FTTH broadband service adoption by region, FTTH broadband lines as percentage of total broadband lines by region, FTTH broadband household ARPL by region, FTTH broadband service revenue by region and FTTH broadband service revenue as percentage of total broadband service revenue by region. It also includes a live webinar session with a Pyramid Research Consultant, giving operators quick and direct insight into key trends.

"The drivers for FTTx network deployment vary from the creation of new revenue streams and regulatory incentives to further monetizing existing assets and opex efficiencies," says Aytar. In particular, thanks to the widespread use of FTTB in emerging markets, monthly pricing for FTTx-based broadband access has largely been affordable and driven uptake. "By 2016, Pyramid Research expects FTTH broadband to generate nearly $116 billion in service revenue worldwide," she adds.
