Current global number of broadband users is the highest in China, the United States, Japan and South Korea, and the four of more than 70% of broadband users worldwide. In addition to China, several other countries have faster broadband development has already begun a large-scale development of FTTH.
To March 2006, the Japanese FTTH users has reached 5.46 million, ranking first in the world. Recently, the U.S. FTTH is also rapidly developing, to the second quarter of 2006, the user has reached 463,000, ranking second in the world. In addition, many European countries have gradually begun a large-scale development of FTTx. FTTH development worldwide is entering the third wave.
The development of full competition in the market
2001, the Japanese FTTH market and NTT only Usen and a few other companies, to Jul. 2002, 9 companies have to provide FTTH services. As the market competition and government policies to encourage Japan's FTTH market has seen a rapid growth in recent years the situation, and by 2004 had grown to nearly 50 companies to provide FTTH services.
FTTH subscriber growth in Japan in fact the main reason is: DSL price war as operators continue to lead to a loss, it turned to strongly promote FTTH, FTTH prices continue to fall at the same time, the cost gap with DSL, and thus accelerate Japan fiber-optic user growth.
Recent years South Korea's broadband market more competitive, but also makes the major carriers AR PU Values gradually decline, while South Korea's industry has to FTTH (and other various emerging FTTH-based business) recognized as their savior. Thus, in the near-saturated broadband market among South Korea, in order to not at a disadvantage in the competition, major broadband operators have launched its FTTH business to continue its comprehensive competitiveness.
In addition, the recent EU decision, approved by Germany Telecommunications Industry regulatory body, forcing Deutsche Telekom to open up its worth 3 billion euros of being built ultra-high-speed broadband network. The European Union Law The original intention is to create conditions for new ventures, so that they can enter the market dominated by state-owned telecommunications companies.
Competitive telecommunications market, bringing great prosperity, and to Consumption Who has brought great benefits. Although the short term, competition will lead to decline in operating profit, lower operating costs, but will again drive the market demand, thus promoting the sound development of the entire industry.
Government strategies and control policies is the key
The Japanese government to FTTH penetration of advanced information society as a symbol of the level, even in 2003 as the first year of fiber-optic Internet access. 2001, Japan initiated the implementation of e-Japan strategy, its focus on the development of "high speed" broadband access means the guiding ideology of making high-speed broadband access Service Rapidly increasing number of providers. In December 2004 the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs made a u-Japan strategy, trying to build in 2010 in Japan, a pan in the network. January 2006 Japan IT Division began to develop strategic "IT New Reform Leather Strategy, "recently specifically for the construction of part of the broadband network, put forward the" new generation of broadband strategy 2010 ", whose main goal is the comprehensive development of broadband in Japan, so no broadband access to the area to zero. Needless to say, this series of powerful The policy has greatly promoted the development of FTTH in Japan.
South Korea the broadband power not far behind. Government in 2003 to develop "IT839 strategy planning", plans to gradually replace the existing DSL development of FTTH networks, and ultimately the goal of u-Korea. The current South Korean government began to promote a period of six years of BCN program, the next few years the government and private total of 80.4 billion U.S. dollars will be invested to establish times Cloth National communications network infrastructure, which will be fully part of the last mile towards FTTH.
Although the United States is the world's largest broadband access markets, but early in FTTH construction, have fallen far behind Japan and other countries. But since the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a "FTTH access network need not open to competitors," the policy was, FTTH development, great changes have taken place. FCC's non-binding policy on the development of FTTx operators must have a clear policy tilt, which makes two years, the U.S. FTTx subscribers worldwide to rank as the second.
FTTx gradually overwhelming xDSL The early development of the Japanese FTTH, FTTH users are mostly from the ISDN and dial-up users to migrate from. By mid-2004, ADSL Subscriber growth began to slow trend, FTTH ADSL users started to seize market share. Figure 1 shows that the first quarter of 2005, FTTH subscriber growth in the quarter more than ADSL. It is predicted that ADSL subscribers in Japan in late 2006 or early 2007 a negative growth. By 2008, the Japanese FTTH subscribers to exceed ADSL broadband access as a major way.
Korea experienced a rapid development stage, the pace of broadband subscriber growth is gradually stagnated. The data from the last three years can be found, South Korea broadband market is already saturated. By the end of 2005 to April 2006, with the rapid increase of users FTTx, xDSL users have Korea for 4 months of negative growth. It is predicted that South Korea's FTTH subscribers will be in 2008 more than ADSL.
New business process to promote FTTH
View of the fierce competition and falling ARPU values, national main broadband operators are actively looking for a differentiated new services in order to prevent users from loss, create greater value-added profits, while new broadband Operators also are trying to find the best business entry point. The triple play services on FTTx just give us an opportunity to provide this.
Company currently Verizon's FIOS data based on FTTx and video business momentum. Better for the future development of FTTH business, AT & T will be present as a key goal to accelerate the development of video services. This AT & T is taking steps to actively search for abundant resources in order to attract users. In Canada, using ADSL technology access IPTV Business in good shape, with the number of users increases, the bandwidth demand is increasing, Bell Canada is currently investing heavily in network upgrades. The same period, France Telecom's IPTV service has also made a great success, resulting in France Telecom in Paris, determined to begin large-scale in six cities Measure
