The access network is expected to be one of the major battlegrounds
of telecommunications network operators, since upgrades of the
existing narrowband access network will be the critical factor in
supplying multimedia broadband services in a competitive market.
The future broadband access network architecture needs to be
flexible enough to efficiently support the provision of a full set
of broadband and narrowband services with a wide range of capacity
demands. A wide range of broadband access technologies are
available. Furthermore, the key issues in the upgrading of the very
cost sensitive access network are financial as well as
technological, both for incumbent and new entrant operators. Thus,
in order to identify minimum-risk introductory strategies the
economic viability of access network broadband upgrades needs to be
carefully assessed. However, despite the definite need for
techno-economic evaluations, very few books have been published in
this field. One of the reasons might be that broadband access
network upgrading only very recently gained wide recognition as a
key challenge for broadband delivery. Secondly, this kind of
strategic work and these studies tend to be considered rather
sensitive by operators, and thus both results and methodologies are
not usually readily available. Thirdly, the work reported in this
book in many respects was a major pioneering effort, which quite
ambitiously aimed at modelling the whole life-cycle costs and
revenue streams of access network upgrades, as opposed to several
other efforts, which often are limited to pure investment cost
comparisons.
