What do they look like?
DSLAM (Alcatel)
CMTS (Arris)

Bandwidth Limitations• Both architectures have asymmetrical
data rates due to RF Frequency issues– High downstream (To the home) than
upstream (Away from the home)– Usually not an issue because traffic flows are
asymmetrical as well• Web Surfing, Video/TV
• Cable has a shared upstream (tree and branch) which can lead to congestion (slower performance) during peak hours
• DSL has dedicated upstream but connection from the DSLAM to the Internet is “Over Subscribed”– Note: FiOS uses a Passive Optical Network
(PON) architecture which is similar to the HFC architecture except the fiber terminates on each home
“Downstream” 3M to 20 Mbps
“Upstream”500Kbps to 4 Mbps
To Internet

FTTx (Fiber to the ____)• FTTH – (1 home) Fiber to the
home• FTTC – (8-16 homes) Fiber to the
curb– Copper to the home with higher speed DSL (Shorter
distance, less signal attenuation)
• FTTN (50-100 Homes) – Fiber to the Neighborhood (or pedestal or cabinet. – Those green boxes, – Longer copper cables = less
bandwidth
• FTTR – Fiber to the Rich

Last Mile Issues
• Expensive and labor intensive to deploy and maintain
• Rights-of-way/Real Estate/Political Issues• Density is key
– Cost per home passed/Cost per home served
• Why don’t we all have fiber today?– $ Billions invested in deployed copper pairs
and coax cable.– New technologies (e.g., DSL and DOCSIS)
continue to improve bandwidth to homes.

Why No FiOS in Newburyport?• West Newbury has FiOS• Massachusetts has town-by-town franchising• Towns demand quid-pro quo for franchise
– New Fire Truck, New School Wing• Verizon abandoned MA to states with state-wide
franchising– E.g. Texas
• Newburyport is ideal for FiOS– Aerial wiring (e.g. Telephone poles, No need to dig
trenches which are expensive and disruptive)– Dense neighborhoods (can serve many homes per
mile of fiber)– Affluent community (Desire triple-play services and
can pay for them)

City/Metro Options?• City owned Dark Fiber? Regional Broadband?
– Cost to “light it”?– Cost to connect each home?– Interconnect Cost (To Internet)?– Cost to maintain it?– Regulatory/legal issues
• Municipal WiFi?– Been tried in many places..– Cost of each access point X # of access points– Back haul cost? New fiber?– Peak time congestion issues?– Cost to maintain?

Final Comments• Government cannot mandate
deployments– Can only create competitive environment
• Competition (or threat of) is good– Will drive bandwidth up and rates down
• Don’t under estimate what it takes to deploy and maintain last mile solutions
