Center for Tele-Information
Introduction (1)Introduction (1)
Based on material collected from equipment suppliers and operators and
modeling work by Dante & CTI to illustrate the evolution of costs of
(international) connectivity over the next five years
Center for Tele-Information
Introduction (2)Introduction (2)
Parameters affecting the evolution in transport infrastructure for research and education networks

Center for Tele-Information
Organizational aspects (1)Organizational aspects (1)
Current model for NREN transmission networks, 3
layers:
- International
- National
- Local/ university
Alternative models/ features for network infrastructure
- Regional networks
- Border hopping and border crossing
Center for Tele-Information
Organizational aspects (2)Organizational aspects (2)
Ownership options for the physical infrastructure
– Full ownership of fibres
– Dark fibres
– Managed dark fibres
– Direct access to fibres
– Buying of capacity
Center for Tele-Information
Regulatory aspectsRegulatory aspects
New regulatory package
- Public or private network
- General authorization - notification
- Local loop unbundling (copper and fiber)
RoW
Regulation can only facilitate competition &
development
Center for Tele-Information
Trends in bandwidth demands (1)Trends in bandwidth demands (1)
Very different usages patterns, which might suggest
different connection levels or a building block principle
Center for Tele-Information
Trends in bandwidth demandsTrends in bandwidth demands (2) (2)• Based on average growth rates the predicted
traffic volume is 33 times bigger in 2006, equaling
20,000 Terabytes

Market trends (1)Market trends (1)
• Equipment market
• Infrastructure services – Deregulation– New technologies– Unprecedented availability of very low cost capital
• Market scenarios– Four market structures: Liberal I & II; emerging;
monopolistic– Three scenarios: optimistic (I), neutral (II) and
pessimistic (III)

Economic analysis (1)Economic analysis (1)
• Three major building blocks – Transmission link
– Transmission equipment
– Routing and switching equipment
• Transmission link– Full ownership
– Dark fibre
– Direct access
– Leasing capacity
Center for Tele-Information
Economic analysis (2)Economic analysis (2)• Assumptions
- List prices for equipment
- No sharing included
- Digging for fibre, € 50,000/km
- Leasing dark fibre, € 500/km
- Leasing dark fibre with amplification, € 750/km
- Leasing dark fibre with amplification and regeneration € 1,000/km
- Equipment operation and maintenance, 20% of investment costs
- Fibre operation and maintenance, € 1,000/km
- Capital costs, 10% per year
- Amplifiers every 75 km
- Regenerators every 800 km

ConclusionConclusion• Investment/ building of fibre expensive and distance
dependent
• If the market is transparent and there are competition among several players, it is not economic relevant for NRENs to build transmission link
unless
• The distance between the connected points are relatively short and the cost of deploying a transmission link can be shared with others
• There is no available fibre
