Abstract
For a greenfield FTTH rollout, civil engineering is by far the largest cost
item.
Drawing on in-depth knowledge of FTTx cost models, IDATE examines solutions
that can help bring down civil engineering costs, based on rollout experiences
in the most advanced markets.
Key questions
- What is civil engineering' s real weight in the equation?
- Is ensuring access to incumbent carriers' ducts the most promising
solution?
- Can overhead deployment solutions used in the United States and Japan be
adapted to Europe ?
- What are the advantages and drawbacks of lighter civil engineering
solutions (e.g. micro-trenches)?
- Can local authorities help promote large-scale FTTH rollouts in the medium
term?
- Does shared private investment have a future?
