DUBLIN, July 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Open Access Fiber Networks in Europe - Regulatory Frameworks and Initiatives" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Telecommunications markets in Europe are currently going through major infrastructure separation trends, both on mobile markets with towercos or on the fixed market with the creation of wholesale pure players for fiber networks.

Starting with a definition of the open access model and its specificities compared to a standard wholesale player, this report provides a situational analysis and a typology of open access initiatives in Europe. Through a study of four representative application cases, it then provides the reader with analytical keys to examine many aspects of the core issue:

Is open access the way forward for fiber deployments?
