Committed to Connecting the World
The report is aimed at helpingPPP projects achieve better outcomes
Using public funds more effectively Monitoring outcomes vs objectives Managing risks (budget, timing) Stimulating and creating demand
2
Committed to Connecting the World
We looked at 13 PPP broadband projects around the world
3
Kenya
Qatar
Saudi Arabia
Argentina
The Dominican Republic
Paraguay
Malaysia
Mongolia
Pakistan
Latvia
Singapore
Slovakia
Lithuania
Wide range of projects , from local access to submarine cable
Committed to Connecting the World
Key findings: Best practices in establishing successful projects
Conduct a public consultation Consider multiple investment models and funding Be technology neutral Conduct pilot projects Provide funding in line with milestones and targets Mandate open access and monitor compliance Consider setting up parallel initiatives to stimulate
demand
4
Committed to Connecting the World
Conduct a public consultation
Potential stakeholders include: end users telecommunication operators other government agencies local authorities equipment vendors
5
Examples: Dominican Republic RBC Project (industry and users) ;Saudi Arabia Universal Service Project (public consultation; levy idea tested)
Committed to Connecting the World
Consider multiple investment models and funding
Mixed broadband projects (access/core networks, urban/rural/international connectivity) may need to consider: different investment models
Public design/build/operate (DBO) and public outsourcing (PO)
different funding sources Universal service funding and government grants
6
Examples: Argentina Connected (core is public DBO; urban access is PO) ; Malaysia National Broadband Initiative (grants for urban, USF for rural)
Committed to Connecting the World
Be technology neutral
Projects should not be limited to one technology difficult topographies lack of last-mile copper access backhaul may be challenging
Authorities should consider operators’ capabilities expertise working with technology and operating networks
7
Examples: Pakistan USF Broadband Programme (DSL, HSPA and WiMAX in unserved urban and rural areas)
Committed to Connecting the World
Conduct pilot projects
Test the ability of the project to meet its objectives Identify risks Identify key learning points
8
Examples: Saudi Arabia Universal Service Project; Dominican Republic RBC;Mongolia WiFi/VSAT
Committed to Connecting the World
Provide funding in line with milestones and targets
The timing of payments could be based on: roll-out plan (coverage, and availability of services) take-up of services
9
Examples: Pakistan USF Broadband Programme (technical auditor role)
Committed to Connecting the World
Mandate open access andmonitor compliance
Promotes competition Supports innovation Minimises market distortion State aid rules require open access (EC)
10
Committed to Connecting the World
Consider setting up parallel initiatives to stimulate demand
Provide free or subsidised laptops/netbooks Establish centres to train people Establish centres to provide access to broadband Provide general ICT training
11
Examples: Argentina Connected (netbooks for 1.9m students); Dominican Republic RBC Project (website development assistance); Pakistan USF Broadband Programme (community and education broadband centres)
