Abstract
This annual report offers a wealth of information on the worldwide development of Next Generation Telecoms with a focus on FttH. Information at a regional level is provided for the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. The report includes analyses, statistics, forecasts and trends. It provides a comprehensive insight into the progress of Next Generation Telecoms and examines the key issues and opportunities. FttH is discussed in terms of its importance for the digital economy. BuddeComm' s analyses of the issues surrounding the regulating of fibre access are provided, along with a case study on this topic for Europe.
The report also includes a statistical overview of the worldwide broadband market and additional statistics on FttH. Information on All-IP networks is incorporated, along with relevant technical information on both fibre and IP techniques. Please note: Next Generation Mobile Networks are covered in a separate annual publication.
Subjects covered include:
