The future of broadbandProduct Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: Ovum Plc Published: December 2006 Product Code: R464-176 Description Michael Philpott examines, at a high-level, the likely investment required to deliver advanced broadband services such as high-definition TV (HDTV) and video-on-demand (VoD). The core of the cost analysis comes from our independent IPTV cost modelling, which is based on ADSL from the local exchange network architecture. The report then explores the implications of moving to the more advanced access network architectures of fibre to the cabinet (FTTCab) and fibre to the building (FTTB), which will be necessary to deliver the bandwidth-hungry broadband services and applications of the future. The report concludes by briefly looking at the revenue potential of advanced broadband services, and whether the high-levels of investment are justified.Here we provide Broadband@Ovum’s analysis and thoughts on how the broadband industry will shape up over the next ten years.
