Research and Markets: Copper Decommissioning: Costs and Benefits for Operators
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lc3jq3/copper)
has announced the addition of the "Copper
Decommissioning: Costs and Benefits for Operators" report to
their offering.
Copper network decommissioning is becoming an increasingly significant
topic as operators seek to replace legacy infrastructure with fibre and
wireless alternatives. A number of operators are already proceeding with
the process, which enables us to compare their different approaches.
This Viewpoint provides:
-
Numerical analysis of the potential revenue benefits for operators
from extracting and selling copper infrastructure and selling property
that is no longer required after coppr decommissioning
-
An examination of the costs involved
-
Case studies of the copper decommissioning strategies of Bezeq, MGTS,
NBN Co, Telstra (News - Alert) and Verizon.
This report provides a series of case studies on operator strategies for
decommissioning their copper networks, and considers the costs and
revenue associated with this.
-
It covers operators in four countries (Australia, Israel, Russia and
the USA).
-
The report details a number of elements related to copper
decommissioning for each of the operators:
-
Expected timeline and progress made so far
-
An assessment of increased revenue potential for example, from selling
exchange equipment and copper and upselling customers to new products
-
An assessment of the potential for reduced costs for example, lower
opex costs for FTTH networks than for DSL
-
Potential barriers for example, regulatory limits and customer
willingness.
-
For the purposes of this report, decommissioning includes either the
entirety of the local loop or, as in the case of FTTC roll-outs, the
E-side from exchange to street cabinet. We consider cases where copper
is decommissioned in favour of both FTTx and wireless technologies.
