Description
When reviewing the situation for fibre deployment internationally a very varied picture emerges. However, the general consensus appears to be that the EU is starting to lag dangerously behind the Asian countries. Regulatory uncertainty is commonly seen as the main reason for this. Incumbents within member states are weary of making large investments when it is unclear to what degree, if at all, access will be required. In South Korea and Japan, on the other hand, the regulatory environment is stable, access is mandated, but this doesn’t appear to have had a dampening effect on rollout. The Japanese NRA is currently looking into the possibility of scaling back regulation.
