La Poste passe à la fibre optique dés septembre ! September 2008. Yesterday was D-Day on multiple fronts.
Parties to celebrate and also some predictions made over here coming true. #1First of all, my daughter turned 5, which is a major achievement in a child's life. It kept me very busy, and I'm sure it was a day to remember for her and everybody else present. #2Over in Geneva people had their own party. CERN's Large Hadron Collider went live and anybody with an interest in physics, such as myself, is anxious to see results coming out of those 30 years of preparation and 6 billion euros. . #3Talking about speed. On the side: this is a typical OA PPP project: open access public/private partnership. On the side: I mentioned a study on the benefits of broadband and the impact of availability on usage in my previous post (the Eindhoven University report) . #4Something else I kind of predicted was DTT coming to the Daily Media box (see this post). Radical Structural Separation in Singapore.
Singapore is proceeding with what some have called "the most radical structural separation of fixed telecoms in the world" after awarding its National Broadband Network passive network contract to the OpenNet consortium including Axia NetMedia, SingTel (News - Alert), Singapore Press Holdings and Singapore Power Telemedia.
What makes the plan "radical" is the three-stakeholder open access wholesale regime, plus a fourth layer of retail service providers. Under the plan, SingTel, which today operates a vertically-integrated services operation, will transfer existing ducts, manholes and exchanges used for the NBN to an independent asset company by mid-2011 and sell down its stake in that entity by 2014. That independent company will, in turn, will lease those assets to OpenNet, which will own fiber. A third set of entities, also licensed on an open network basis, will add their own active optical and electronic equipment. Retailers then would be a fourth layer. TM HIGH SPEED BROADBAND PROJECT ON TRACK FOR Q1 COMMERCIAL LAUNCH.

And the leader in high speed fiber broadband is... Lithuania. Are you an AT&T residential broadband customer in the United States, grumbling over the inauguration of 150GB bandwidth caps for your pokey DSL connection?
Or maybe you're a Canadian—bitter over the low ceiling caps imposed by Rogers Cable and other ISPs, not to mention the likely expansion of metered billing packages down the line? If you've had the vague sense that the Internet in North America is moving back toward scarcity rather than forward to abundance, we've got a solution for you. Move to Lithuania. TEO LT, Lithuania's top telecommunications service, says that in two weeks the company will boost the speed of its ZEBRA Fiber-to-the-Home ISP service "premium" plan to up to 300Mbps for downloads. The "basic" plan's speed will double—from 20 to 40Mbps; the "optimal" plan will go from 80 to 100Mbps. Oh, and by the way: "TEO will increase the Internet speed for residential customers without any additional fees. " Très haut débit : la Lituanie domine l'Europe, la France à la traîne.
Nous ne cessons de le répéter : le très haut débit, et plus particulièrement la FTTH, n’avance pas.
Ni en France, ni même en Europe d’ailleurs, même si son dernier niveau de croissance est intéressant, sans être exceptionnel : +22 % en six mois selon le FTTH Council, en intégrant la Russie. Avec seulement 4,5 millions d’abonnés à la fibre (3,3 millions sans la Russie), il n’y a pourtant pas de quoi pavoiser. Rattraper l’Asie, et plus particulièrement le Japon (plus de 13 millions d’abonnés), n’est pas pour demain.
