Similarly to previous years, network providers continued in 2011 to eye FTTP networks as an option to upgrade their access facilities and differentiate themselves from the competition. The new report “The World of Fiber – 2012 edition” prepared by yours truly and released last week by Diffraction Analysis offers an in-depth analysis and supportive data of what is happening in the world with regards to FTTP. What becomes most apparent in our analysis is that the number of countries where FTTP is happening either by governments that take a serious look at the topic or by forward-looking private firms continues to grow. The report also features a taxonomy of network providers and their corresponding roll-out strategies. This taxonomy provides insight on the similarities and differences of these actors on the basis of their core business (telcos, cable TV providers, alternative operators, public agencies and real-estate developers) and the characteristics of the geographical markets.
This is a free-to-get report and you can have it if you ask for it. Be sure to expect more insight on the global FTTP market in a new, more analytical version of the report, which will be available soon. For more information visit the web site of Diffraction Analysis.
