Why Fibre ? Some Highlights
FTTH Council Europe envisions a requirement for 100 Mb/s symmetrical access per home by 2010: SME’s, SMB’s: subcontractors to large manufacturers Home: Simultaneous use of multiple PC’s, TV’s and
Radio’s, Telephones and Personal Video Recorders per home, plus possibly home security,
e-health, e-medecine monitoring and other service applications already available today.

Why Fibre ? Some Highlights
Only fibre offers the 100 Mb/s symmetric or higher bandwith without distance or interference constraints
Reliable, tested and proven technology Endless applications Same cost to install as traditional copper, but 50% or more lower operational cost to run an all
fibre network Safe, sound & future proof investment

Issues with non-fibre-based shared media access technologies
Advanced Digital Video services require guaranteed bitrates to all subscribers concurrently (i.e. a strictly non-blocking architecture; in contrast to best effort Internet service)
Bandwidth sharing on the last mile can only be successfully applied for video services if the sustainable per-user bit rate is in the order of 10 Mbit/s (MPG4/WM9 takes 5.5Mbps for HDTV)
Fibre is the ONLY viable solution
24th of November 2004 IDATA semainar: “Broadband for all” 12
Why Now? Some Highlights
Broadband household demand is gaining momentum in uptake and speed. 256 Kb/s was normal four years ago, 4 Mb/s is already in use in some areas today, going to 18Mb/s in 2005.
EU may not be adequately planning to cover the bandwidth needs of 2010.
FTTH solutions meet national and EU e-government, e-learning, e-health, e-business objectives
FTTH is the key to eliminating current and near term roadblocks, while enhancing the life of Europeans.
24th of November 2004 IDATA semainar: “Broadband for all” 13
Why Now? USA/Japan vs EU
The FCC (USA) recently removed regulatory obstacles to investing in FTTH: Verizon announced plans for 1 million FTTH connections in 2004, 12 million by 2008.
The US Government clearly recognised that “ultra fast broadband to every home” is closely linked to innovation and competitiveness.
Japan had 1.5 million FTTH connections by mid- 2004, and plans for 100Mbps and even 1 Gbps to the home
In Europe we need to act now on rolling out FTTH.

The Broadband Revolution Objectives for Access Network
Provide ultra-high capacity – 100+ Mbps per subscriber Maximum BB Coverage with Reduced Operational
Expense compared to present mode of operation Cost effective Full Service: voice, data, and video Smooth evolution from traditional services formats
(POTS and CATV) to IP-based services (VoIP, video) Access platform optimized for broadband services
And… Cost/FTTH user went from 10,000€ (‘94) to 1,500-
2,000€ in the USA (Orlando FTTH convention 2004)

FTTH Council Europe Objectives
Knowledge base for information gathering, and analysis for the FTTH market
Communicate business and technical benefits Identify and highlight key market drivers and
constraints Call on policy makers in Europe to be a catalyst
E.g. to prioritise and facilitate the build out of fibre to the home networks all across Europe by 2010,
Overall participates to the market information, and education of our communities: Why fibre, Why now?

Conclusion
Fibre-based access network architectures are only beginning in Europe but They are essential to create a competitive global
advantage Fibre is the only media to meet the bandwidth needs
of all present and future services FTTH technologies, architectures and standards are
mature Systems are now available at costs that enable
attractive business cases All new infrastructure deployments must be fibre

Some observations for discussion Broadband demand has been increasing rapidly over the
last 3-5 years and predictions indicate growth will continue for years to come
Broadband access performance leapfrogs are in part thanks to the use of fibre in access expansion
Despite perceptions, the CAPEX required for new FTTH is similar to the CAPEX required for NEW copper.
FTTH implementation requires longer planning than most other access technologies (I don’t believe this is true for new access builds !)
A substantial capacity bottleneck exists in the “last mile”.Fibre is needed, still the last mile appears to be an issue!
