Speed Matters – 100 Mb/s is the New 10 Mbp/s
• Speed upgrades at no extra charge.
• Synchronous services that match upload speeds with download speeds at no extra charge.
• Solid ARPU driven by uptake of multi-play and TV services

Changing Traffic Patterns
Cloud & social are pushing more content UP the network
All Internet sharing starts with uploading
Smarter home gateways drive more content being moved around
Enhanced Media Servers
Multiple tuners, terabytes of storage
What Happens When 50B Machines Connect
Dramatically broad range of traffic patterns Challenge traffic engineering and management
Demand new service definitions (SLAs)
Smart Watch Chatty, Low bandwidth
Smart Train Session-based
Enormous bandwidth
Ultra BB is More than a Build & Sales
Property Management Network Marketing Distribution Product
• Create fiber-ready buildings & neighbor-hoods
• Relations with property mngrs
• Community relationships
Incorporate intelligence into build planning
Lower cost equipment
External deployment
Target tenants & property owners
Build brand equity for fiber ready areas
Create fiber brand elements for SMB
New seller tools to target neighbor-hoods & buildings
Service delivery links for process improvement
Competitive priced E2E fiber services
Lower cost/lower SLA services
Consumer-like experience for SMB.
It is a transformation of the way to build and sell
Customer Experience
• Better segmentation – continuum of needs
• How do you know when Facebook goes down? – Fundamental flaw in managing customer experience.
– How do you monitor to know you have a problem, and how do you respond when a customer does have a problem?
• Digital first experience – Self-service portals for subscriber self-monitoring
– Embracing sophisticated users
Passive User Non-use of video streaming services and/or downloads
Power User Frequent use of video streaming
services and/or downloads
OTT Engagement Model
Fat Dumb Pipe
Standard business model – ‘owning’ the customer, providing the infrastructure. Little value-added beyond speed. Demand grows faster than revenue.
Smart Pipe
Evolved brokerage model -- Add value to subscriber and to OTT provider. Monetization through: policy control, billing, subscriber and network intelligence, CDNs, APIs.
OTT Participation Model
• TV Everywhere
• TV/web interaction
• Open platform for service mash-up
Access Technologies Trends
• FTTH speeds are impressive, but expensive • Objectives
– Prolong the copper lifecycle • Integration of copper, fiber, wireless • Optimize DSL and copper in rural areas
– Targeted fiber rollout • Transition from DSL to fiber in densely populated
“fiber-hoods” • FTTdp and FTTB can be 30% cheaper than FTTH
– Wireless local loop • Economically extend the reach

Video Futures – A Better Visual Experience Data will increase by 65x in next few years
• 4K UHDTV = 4 times the bandwidth of a HD signal
• 8K UHDTV = 16 times the bandwidth of a HD signal
4K HD SD
8K
“4K/8K will be the first format that is Internet only.” -Reed Hastings, Netflix
Photonic Chip Futures - Towards 1 Tb/s
Electrical Elements… Photonic Elements..
Cost
Greener Density
Power Size
• Multiple photonic components integrated onto a single chip, similar to the electronic integrated circuit.
• Benefits of photonic integration are higher density, lower power, less space and lower TCO.
• Improves network efficiency as we evolve to higher bit rates.
Network Futures - Virtualization
Real things
Multi-vendor interconnect.
Failover and resiliency in software.
Quick failure service designs.
User controls,
Role and extent of orchestration,
SDN interconnect,
Virtual CPE,
APIs are difficult to use.
Benefits
Operators are committed
DT TeraStream
Telefonica UNICA
AT&T Domain 2.0
Many others…
It is not about 100% or nothing
The Programmable Network increases agility, reduces costs and speeds innovation applications.
Future Broadband Challenges
• Vastly diverse use cases – Videos and social feeds = speed, – Applications & devices = reliability.
• Demand more ‘atomic’ tools – Monitoring, – Understanding bandwidth usage, – Smart congestion management, – Software-defined networks, – Big data.
