 Next Generation Networks

 Broadband 128 Kbps – 10 Mbps

– xDSL Asymmetrical
– Cable Low deployments in business areas
– WLL Shared E1/ T1
– PMP Shared sector capacity
 High Capacity >100 Mbps+
– Fiber Expensive, cumbersome to deploy
$150,000 per mile construction cost
– Wireless Immediate – “same day service”
Much lower installed cost per bit
Quick revenue generation
Easy to redeploy
