| FTTH/B service revenues reach USD 29.6 billion |
| Monday, 09 July 2012 | |

Global revenues from DSL broadband services have seen incremental growth in service revenue to reach Rs 540600 crore (USD 106 billion) with a CAGR growth of 14 percent in the last 5 years up until 2011. Asia-Pacific is growth region for DSL broadband with China playing a dominant role accounting for 33 percent of the worldwide subscribers in 2011, according to ABI Research. Copper networks are a cash cow for telephone companies, delivering broadband over DSL to more than 367 million subscribers worldwide in 2011. Fiber to the Home (FTTH) technologies bring ten times the bandwidth compared to advanced DSL technologies. However, upgrades to advanced forms of DSL require a fraction of the investment of upgrades to FTTH. Financial instability in the advanced economies of Western Europe and lack of innovative internet video services force Telco's to look into the cost to value proposition delivered by making large scale investments into FTTH,” said Adarsh Krishnan, senior analyst of TV & Video at ABI Research. Strong government initiatives to develop fiber infrastructure have in most cases been a necessary prerequisite to fund FTTH or fiber to the building (FTTB) deployments. These incentives have been strongest in Western Europe and Asia-Pacific. Innovative internet video services including IPTV and OTT (at HD resolutions) give Telco's the necessary competitive edge for triple play (telephone, internet and TV) and quad play (telephone, internet, TV and mobile phone) services that have been lacking against competing cable operators. - Communications Today Bureau |
