Naked DSL (NDSL) breaks the association between DSL broadband service and the PSTN service, so that a customer may cancel an existing PSTN service, but retain the DSL service. Until recently, incumbent telcos had tended to resist NDSL because of the immediate revenue loss from the absence of the PSTN subscription, and the fear that it would exacerbate the move of voice usage away from the PSTN towards mobile and Voice over IP (VoIP). Naked DSL: challenges and opportunities examines the current status of naked DSL and assesses its likely development in regulatory and implementation terms.

NDSL is now beginning to be offered (in a rather ad hoc manner) by a few incumbent telcos in Europe and North America. Some industry observers have suggested that NDSL could have a serious effect on incumbents by deeply eroding the core PSTN revenues that still underpin much of their revenues and profitability. The report uses modelling to address the crucial issue of the potential impact of NDSL on incumbent telcos’ revenues and margins, and places this in the context of the overall effect of NDSL on the telecoms market and competitive environment. The report assesses the potential of NDSL in furthering fixed-mobile convergence, and examines the impacts and opportunities for a range of players: incumbents, alternative network operators, ISPs and mobile operators.

Naked DSL: challenges and opportunities answers your key questions:

What is the current status of naked DSL?
how is NDSL likely to develop in regulatory and implementation terms?
is DSL likely to become a mandatory requirement in important jurisdictions, or will it be offered widely enough to reach de facto market status?
how would NDSL affect incumbents, broadband operators and mobile operators in market and competitive terms? Does NDSL really present a serious threat to incumbent business models?
does NDSL present a significant business opportunity within the wider context of fixed-mobile convergence?
what might be the financial effects on incumbents of the introduction of NDSL?
what are the strategic options and responses facing incumbents for NDSL?
