ENGAGE HSB for Donegal 12 Feb 2013 • Pat Kidney RefNo | Commercial in confidence 3 Trends in the Irish market Mobile and FWA broadband services have become a major feature of Ireland’s broadband market Fixed broadband speeds have increased from their previously low level Service bundling and closer integration of fixed and mobile services are increasingly prominent features of the market All mobile operators are engaged in network sharing multi-band spectrum auction in 2012 has raised EUR 854m 140 MHz of prime sub-2GHz spectrum The 2.3 GHz and 3.5GHz spectrum bands has potential to further enhance competition and capacity for wireless broadband National Broadband plan has earmaked EUR175m for broadband RefNo | Commercial in confidence In the 2016 – 2018, a mix of technologies is expected in the Irish telecoms market… UPC will have DOCSIS3.0 in urban areas, but may not reach 55% of pop. Urban 55% Rural 55-90% Final 10% DOCSIS3.0 Eircom will use VDSL for high speed broadband, and will maintain its existing ADSL services outside urban areas LTE and ADSL2 to blue areas (35% pop.) VDSL ADSL LTE, DOCSIS3.0, and VDSL to green areas (55% pop.) LTE Only LTE in red areas (10% pop.) In urban areas LTE will have fibre backhaul to ensure high performance RefNo | Commercial in confidence In rural and remote areas the LTE will have microwave backhaul to reduce cost, at the expense of performance A comprehensive NGA solution may use FTTH, FTTC, cable, wireless and other technologies Scenario 1: Fibre and wireless NSS Up to 90% Cost of deployment by scenario Nationwide 2,500 FTTH/GPON 2,380 FTTC 2,000 Wireless LTE Scenario 2: Cable, fibre and wireless NSS Up to 90% Nationwide Cable FTTH/GPON EUR million 1,670 1,500 1,325 1,000 FTTC 500 Wireless LTE Scenario 3: VDSL and wireless 0 NSS Up to 90% Nationwide Fibre and wireless FTTC Wireless LTE RefNo | Commercial in confidence FTTH Source: Analysys Mason FTTC Cable, fibre and wireless LTE+fibre VDSL and wireless LTE+microwave 6 The National Broadband Scheme brought basic broadband to unserved areas of Donegal Target area RefNo | Commercial in confidence Source: DCENR, H3GI Actual coverage 7 NGA is likely to be delivered through a variety of fixed and wireless technologies NGA consists of many networks – including FTTH/FTTC, cable, and 4G – but how much of each should be built and where? Fibre networks Wireless networks FTTC and FTTH networks require the installation of new fibre links from the local exchange directly to, or closer to, the subscriber. Optimal duct re-use can help reduce costs In addition to wireless infrastructure costs, spectrum fees can be expensive. To support next generation access speeds many base stations may also require high-capacity fibre backhaul links Rely on direct physical connections to the subscriber – capital expenditure generally increases in areas where access distances are greater (typically rural areas) Low-frequency spectrum from the Digital Dividend could extend the reach of LTE base stations and consequently reduce the capital costs of providing next-generation wireless broadband in rural areas A combination of extending the reach of fibre, plus additional wireless sites will be required to satisfy our work and social needs RefNo | Commercial in confidence Why? ….dig costs make up around 65% of total FTTH costs Breakdown of costs of civil works for FTTH 100% Proportion of dig costs for FTTH 90% 80% to premise Final drop ~50m from DP 70% to DP ~300m from cabinet 60% 50% Route out of to cabinet exchange from exchange ~2km 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Urban Rural Very rural The part of the route closest to the distribution point (DP) represents the highest proportion of costs RefNo | Commercial in confidence Source: Analysys Mason 9 Cost of implementation (EUR million) We have analysed each measure from an individual cost–benefit perspective … 0.01 0.1 In-building wiring Mandated access to infrastructure Co-ordination of civil works 1 One-stop shop on rights of way and admin. procedures 10 Reduction to cable damage could lead to significant benefits 100 Performs most strongly in a cost–benefit analysis, but may have limited impact in developed markets Infrastructure atlas 1000 0 1 10 100 Magnitude of annual economic benefit (EUR million) RefNo | Commercial in confidence Source: Analysys Mason 1000 10 Choice of investment model 5 investment models… Bottom-up Public sector owns and operates a network without any private sector assistance Public design build and operate Joint venture Ownership of the network is split between the public and private sector RefNo | Commercial in confidence 5 models Group of end users oversee the contract to build and operate their own local network Private design build and operate Public outsourcing Managing Authority provides a grant to private sector to assist in deployment of new network Single contract for construction and operation of network, but public sector retains ownership and some control 11 Choice of investment model Each investment model has its place Summary of pros and cons of investment models Model Advantages Disadvantages Recommended use Bottom up • • • • Targeting localised areas Leveraging small scale funding Private DBO • • • Localised deployments Differing technologies Funding threshold Limited control • Sufficient funding to attract operators Effective transferral of risk Public outsourcing • Joint Venture • • Public DBO • Long term, nonprofit view Focuses demand Larger scale Low public burden • • • • • Public financial stability with private expertise Greater control • Risk sharing • Potential conflicts of interest • Public/private interests closely aligned Public organisation has full control • Size and scope limited by public expertise • Requirement for absolute control Inspirational investment • Reduced benefit to private sector Additional bureaucracy • • RefNo | Commercial in confidence Requirement for on-going control More conservative operators 12 The focus is on delivering benefit to users Socio economic benefit must be managed alongside project sustainability to deliver long term benefits Long term control by public sector can protect end user benefit, however the private operators can bring invaluable expertise Sustainability is critical as socio-economic benefits will take time The bottom up model may suit small scale fibre projects Long term non-profit view of end users suits the fibre business case, but this may be difficult to leverage on a large scale Open and non-discriminatory access to infrastructure supports effective competition RefNo | Commercial in confidence 13 Contact details Pat Kidney Senior Manager [email protected] Analysys Mason Limited Suite 242, The Capel Building Mary's Abbey Dublin 7, Ireland Tel: +353 1 602 4755 Fax: +353 1 602 4777 www.analysysmason.com Registered in Ireland IR304061 RefNo | Commercial in confidence
