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

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, elearning, e-health, e-business objectives
 FTTH is the key to eliminating current and near term
roadblocks, while enhancing the life of Europeans.

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 mid2004, 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 1,5002,000€ 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

Fibre….is not just broadband
It is the utility of the 21st Century ,…
to enhance our quality of life!

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!
