Research and Markets: Examination of OPEX and CAPEX Expenses, Comparisons of Other Broadband Technologies, As Well As Forecasts Through 2010 for the Global Fiber to the Home (FTTH) Markets

Posted on: Monday, 10 July 2006, 09:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c39275) has announced the addition of "Fiber to the Home in Asia: Analysis & Forecasts" to their offering.

This report is the first in a year long series examining the Global Fiber to the Home (FTTH) markets. The decision to deploy FTTH in any market will be determined by the business case. More precisely, it is the service provider business case which defines if, when, and how much FTTH is deployed. Gone are the days of massive investment in new technologies based on vendor promises or technology visions. The telecommunications market is today much closer to the economists' view of a perfect marketplace in that FTTH is being subjected to the acid test of an unrelenting business case analysis.

But if it is a question of business case, why is FTTH being deployed so much faster in parts of Asia than the rest of the world? Simply stated, the business case is better - much better - in Asia.

This first report examines the core business case of fiber to the Asian market including China, Japan, South Korea, and India. Additional discussions of the growth of the markets in Taiwan and Australia are included.

Covered in this report are the service market fundamentals, examination of OPEX and CAPEX expenses, comparisons of other broadband technologies, as well as forecasts through 2010.

Methodology:

In this report, our analysis of the Asian FTTH business case will proceed as follows:

-- A segmentation of the FTTH business case into its core components;

-- The identification of the levers that determine whether FTTH deployment is kicked into high gear or is left to languish on company drawing boards;

-- An examination of these critical factors from an Asian perspective;

-- Contrast the Asian context to other regions of the globe.

Once we have discussed these drivers and inhibitors, we will provide an insight into the opportunities and risks for both vendors and service providers looking to this developing market as a source of business growth and profitability.

-- FTTH Network Overview

-- PON Overview

-- PON Network Components
