Challenges Faced byTelecom Operators
• Digital cable TV network becomes an alternative broadband access to HHs.
• VoIP, e.g. LINE, erodes telecom operator revenues.• Can monthly flat-rate tariff, allowing unlimited date
transmission, sustain in 4G?• BS sites are hard to come by due to consumer doubt of
impact of radio magnetic wave.• The number of BS will increase. So will the backhaul
leased line expenses.

Broadband Policy• Sweden
– 100Mb/s to 90% HHs and Businesses by 2020• Australia
– 100Mb/s to 93% of HHs• Does broadband infrastructure include both fixed
and wireless technologies?• What incentives can government provide to
operators?
