THE QUEST FOR BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY: A WORLD TREND

• There is world-wide consensus in the need for more broadband connectivity

Because people demand it

Because it creates wealth

and jobs

With a sense of urgency in some countries


WHAT ARE THE SOLUTIONS?

Technology …

Spectrum allocation

Technology efficiency (all-IP networking, LTE overlay)

Infrastructures

… In response to Public objectives

Bring more people connected to broadband services with better quality, more coverage and in a more affordable way!


• Facing the scarcity of fund and spectrum, innovative regulatory thinking and investment models emerge in developing countries:• Reduce cost through infrastructure sharing and innovative

management of some spectrum bands (DD)

• Attractive investment model compatible with long-term infrastructure funds criteria

• Leverage technology evolution (IP LTE, bitstream) allowing service differentiation and competition on top of a collaboratively built infrastructure

INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO FOSTER INVESTMENTS AND NETWORK DEPLOYMENTS AROUND THE WORLD


MEXICAN INITIATIVE

• The underlying driver: Grow the Economy• Macro-economic indicators are excellent• With growth as absolute priority, the Mexican reform encompasses : education, transport, energy …• For Telecoms, this has been translated to give access to affordable Telecom services to all.

• The way to do it• Aim: bring mobile Broadband price as close as possible as Mobile Voice price• How: Reduce the network TCO by 20 times: • Allocate Digital Dividend • Generalize a wholesale model• Use PPP model and push other public supply side initiatives

• Project’s details• All 700 MHz will be allocated to one wholesaler with stringent coverage obligations• A lean, flat IP, low cost wireless bitstream factory will be built on top• A non discriminatory wholesaler who cannot commercialize in the retail market• Paradigm shift from infra based competition to service-based competition

RWANDA INITIATIVE

• Government drivers• Demographic boom • Need jobs and growth as a matter of stability• Bet on connectivity, knowledge society and ICT services

• The way to do it• 3 land cables connected to sub-marine cable• Started by deploying nationwide fiber to municipalities (in 2011)• Next step is the Access: right of ways, backbone, 100Mhz DD

• Project’s characteristics• The Government of Rwanda and KT established Infra Co. (olleh Rwanda Networks) to build 4G LTE nationwide network• Guarantees wholesale business license based on 4G & beyond technology for 25 years with exclusivity • Provides total bandwidth of 175MHz• Second JV to address services, content, usage• Contributing to solving social problems as an alternative to insufficient social infrastructure


A FEW CONCLUSIONS

• Paradigm shift to service-based competition, through active wholesale products, to

Secure investment

Bring same services to all

Foster competition, not only at the retail level but also provide a QoS-based underlying infrastructure for innovative services like cloud

• Leverage efficiency of new wireless technology LTE

• Need long-term and strong political support
