In this episode, Caroline Gabriel, Partner and expert in network and cloud strategies and architecture, engages in a wide-ranging discussion with Rupert Wood, Research Director and expert in network infrastructure, about trends in telecoms capex. They delve into the reasons behind the recent decline in operator capex worldwide, focusing on 5G and FTTP, and how this decline is connected to the slowing demand for bandwidth coupled with a supply of infrastructure that will be sufficient for the foreseeable future. Rupert shares insights from his strategy report, "The end of big capex: new strategic options for the telecoms industry," which explores industry misconceptions about the relationship between investment and demand. He suggests that the industry is experiencing a crisis of overproduction, with industry players still wedded to productive forces that deliver low returns. However, he argues that new models for operator and vendor investment will emerge from this crisis, tied to newer productive forces. During the discussion, Rupert also shares insights into Analysys Mason's capex forecasts, which indicate that operator capital intensity will fall until 2030, with no major cyclical rebound in overall network investment in the foreseeable future.

The latest data published by the telecoms' regulator, Comreg, have revealed that only 10% of all Irish businesses are using a full fibre broadband connection. Poor connectivity risks undermining efforts for Irish businesses, particularly SMEs, to fully embrace digital technologies, according to broadband operator SIRO. Comreg has just published its Quarterly Key Data for Q2 2024, covering the three months of April, May and June 2024. This reveals that only 30,788 Irish businesses have moved from outdated broadband technologies such as copper or cable to fast, reliable and future-proofed fibre to the premise (FTTP) broadband. With over 300,000 businesses in Ireland, Comreg's data indicates only 10% of those businesses are using fibre to the premises (FTTP) broadband. In total, full fibre (FTTP) broadband is available to 68% of all Irish premises, with 47% of those premises now having an active FTTP connection. Both the level of access to full fibre broadband and the take up of this service have grown considerably in recent years as network rollouts accelerate. However, the majority of the take-up has been by residential customers, with the pace of adaptation not replicated by Irish businesses. In an EU context, the most recent Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) 2022 found that Ireland's take-up of fixed broadband was lower than the EU average. Previous research by the European Commission from 2019 noted that the digital economy in Ireland "appears to run at two different speeds, with a small number of multinationals with high digitisation but with indigenous SMEs, slower in leveraging digital solutions to reduce costs, drive innovation and expand their market presence". The data comes a time when the digitalisation of business, particularly SMEs, is an increasing focus for Government to ensure they remain competitive and sustainable into the future. The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment has set a national target of 90% of SMEs to reach basic digital intensity by 2030 and to have at least 75% of enterprises using Cloud, AI and Big Data by 2030. SIRO Chief Commercial Officer Ronan Whelan noted: "Households have enthusiastically embraced full fibre broadband as access to fibre networks has expanded across the country, but Comreg's data shows this has not been replicated amongst Irish businesses to the same extent. "Enterprise Ireland has recognised "a key enabler for strong digitalisation is internet reliability." Full fibre broadband, with greater resilience, greater bandwidth and faster connection speeds, is best placed to meet this requirement. "Low levels of business FTTP broadband take-up has consequences. It risks undermining wider national objectives on digitalisation at a time when the future of small businesses really requires they embrace digital transformation. "Business representatives, Government and the fibre broadband industry must redouble efforts to more effectively communicate to Irish businesses the relevance and benefits of full fibre broadband to their business. This should include fibre broadband awareness campaigns, ensuring that adequacy of connectivity features on prominently digital fitness checklists, and that companies are advised on full fibre broadband solutions when availing of state supports," added Mr Whelan.

IP Telecom, Ireland's innovative telecommunications service provider, has announced the expansion of its connectivity offering to Irish businesses, IPT Broadband, adding Siro, and National Broadband (NBI) connectivity to its existing partnership with OpenEir. The expansion sees IPT Broadband become accessible to over 2.2 Million Irish premises, and the business-to-business offering will plug a gap in the market for SMEs, while ensuring a stable and future-forward connection. Furthermore, when combined with the IP Telecom Hosted Phone System, call quality is optimised across our dedicated Business network, delivering exceptional HD Voice calling and supporting Video Calls and Conference services. IPT Broadband provides superfast Fibre in addition to traditional VDSL (copper-based service), through partnering with OpenEir, Siro, and National Broadband, facilitating Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) and Direct Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) connections, offering ultrafast download speeds of up to 1Gbit/s, for IP Telecom Customers. This collaborative approach, which provides significantly expanded coverage across multiple networks, combined with IP Telecom's track record in broadband delivery over the last five years provides significantly enhanced connectivity for businesses through advanced network infrastructure, and enhanced choice and competitive pricing in the business broadband market. Through prioritising reliable connectivity, the enhanced, wider geographic reach of the IPT Broadband Service allows customers throughout Ireland to optimise their daily operations, such as file sharing, accessing cloud-based tools, utilising Hosted Voice solutions, or facilitating virtual meetings and webinars. "For years, the absence of a mid-market, high-quality solution for Irish businesses has remained a persistent issue, largely due to the inadequate availability of fibre infrastructure - recent reports showed that over half of all Irish businesses (53%) are still not on a fibre broadband connection. IPT Broadband leverages the expanding FTTP coverage provided by various operators to address this gap, particularly benefiting SMEs that do not require high-end services tailored for larger corporations. Through partnering with OpenEir, Siro, and National Broadband and when combined with IP Telecom's hosted phone solutions, IP Telecoms is bringing 21st-century technology to Irish businesses," Robin Russell, CCO of IP Telecom commented on the announcement. This year has seen marked growth for the Irish-owned telecommunications provider, following an investment of €6 million in funding from Development Capital to further the growth the company is experiencing in Ireland. Additionally, March of this year saw the successful acquisition of Centrecom Systems Limited, as IP Telecom continues to solidify its position as a key player in the telecoms landscape. The expansion of IPT Broadband further underscores this mission for the company. Established in 2010 by CEO Shena Brien and Technical Director Brian Chamberlain, the company caters to a diverse range of industries, including technology, IoT, education, transportation & logistics, retail, and agriculture. delivering cutting-edge communication solutions to businesses of all sizes throughout Ireland and is Dublin's foremost VoIP services provider See more stories here.

National Broadband Ireland (NBI), the company rolling out the Government's National Broadband Plan (NBP), has praised Ireland's global leadership on World Telecommunication Day (17th May), by highlighting recent industry statistics published by ComReg which demonstrates the countries' progress towards becoming the most connected country in Europe. According to ComReg, almost 668,000 subscriber lines are now fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP), representing over 40% of total fixed broadband subscriber lines in Ireland. ComReg also noted that FTTP is the most commonly purchased broadband technology and is currently available at 62% of all premises, as measured by Eircodes. In relation to the analysis, National Broadband Ireland Chief Executive Officer, Peter Hendrick, said: "The purpose of World Telecommunication Day is to help raise awareness of the possibilities that the Internet can bring to societies and economies, as well as ways to bridge the digital divide, so it's interesting to reflect on ComReg's recent findings. The data shows notable uptake of fibre broadband connections, and while that is encouraging in terms of creating a gigabit society, we can, and should do more." Mr Hendrick went on to comment on NBI's own experience to date, "The take-up rate on the NBI network, when blended across all deployment areas, currently averages 30%. Naturally, all deployment areas are released to market at different time intervals, so it is vital to understand how take-up performs over time. We're happy to report that take-up is 50% in areas where the network has been live for more than 24 months. "While this performance is surpassing initial expectations and other international comparisons; for every premises connected to fibre, there remains one that is unconnected. As an industry, we must address any gap in public understanding of the reliability and speed which is now becoming available on fibre to the home networks and ensure that people are not missing out on the benefits of high-speed broadband." David McCourt, founder and chairman of National Broadband Ireland commented,"A huge amount of credit must go to the Irish Government for its ambition and leadership in developing the NBP. Their blueprint coupled with NBI's execution provides a model for other countries to follow, as Ireland will soon become the most connected country in Europe. "At NBI, we believe that better broadband networks promote social progress, equality and sustainability. With connectivity and access to pioneering technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Ireland has a genuine opportunity to be a global leader and ensure its citizens have access to better and cheaper services such as education and healthcare." The National Broadband Plan (NBP) is the Irish Government's initiative to deliver high-speed broadband services to all premises in Ireland that aren't served by commercial operators. It is the largest ever telecommunications project undertaken by the Irish State and recognised as one of the biggest and most ambitious telecoms infrastructure projects of its kind globally. Once completed, it will serve over 1.1 million people and ensure all of Ireland will have access to a modern and reliable broadband network, capable of supporting the communications, information, education and entertainment requirements of current and future generations.

El 91% de los hogares españoles tiene acceso a fibra(FTTP) , una cifra muy por encima de la mediaa de la UE, que se sitúa en el 56%, según el Informe de la Década Digital 2023 publicado por la Comisión Europa. A pesar del despliegue de infraestructuras, si los centramos en el entorno rural, el porcentaje de cobertura baja al 65%. Datos que evidencian que la conexión a Internet todavía no es igual en el conjunto del territorio y que se convirtieron en el germen de ASTEO Red Neutra, el primer operador de fibra de última generación para la España Vaciada. “Somos ultrarrurales”, define orgulloso Pedro Abad, CEO de la operadora, quien explica que las poblaciones en las que están presentes tienen, de media, menos de 1.000 habitantes. Presentes en 329 municipios conectados con 1.500 kilómetros de fibra que facilita, por un lado, la entrada de comercializadoras y el acceso de los clientes a distintas ofertas. Un modelo neutro que ha conectado 120.000 hogares de Extremadura y Castilla y León, las dos regiones en las que por ahora, se encentran. “Estamos explorando otras zonas con carencias de infraestructuras” apunta Pedro Abad, al tiempo que estima que todavía quedan entre 1,5 y 2 millones de hogares que no están conectados por fibra. “España es un país rural”, defiende con la seguridad que dan los datos. De los 8.115 municipios que hay en España, solo 145 con ciudades de más de 50.000 habitantes. Paralelamente, el 60% son municipios con menos de 1.000 habitantes.

In addition to enhancing and upgrading existing hybrid fiber/coax (HFC) networks, cable operators are now tied to a much broader "connectivity" business that also includes fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) and wireless/mobile technologies.So it only follows that NCTI, a company that's been providing training education programs for frontline employees, including field techs, and engineers for more than 50 years, should evolve as well.

DENVER – CABLE NEXT-GEN 2023 – As cable operators begin to zero in on the evolution of the access network, it's become clear that the future is not one size fits all. Some operators are enhancing their DOCSIS 3.1 networks, planting the seeds for DOCSIS 4.0, using fixed wireless access (FWA) to extend the reach of wireline networks or even overlaying their existing hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) plant with fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) technologies.The unedited audio transcript is available in the media player of this episode page.

There's no shortage of topics in the world of broadband these days. Fiber network M&A activity and upgrades have not slowed down. Billions of dollars are flowing into rural broadband. Cable operators are considering multiple paths forward on their access network upgrades amid flagging broadband subscriber growth. Meanwhile, fixed wireless access (FWA) seems to be all the rage. To cover that ground and help analyze those various-but-related-topics, two cable industry vets, David Strauss and Jay Rolls, now execs at Broadband Success Partners, recently joined the Light Reading Podcast. Broadband Success Partners, a company founded in 2017, has completed more than 40 technical due diligence engagements from about 25 clients, including a growing number of them outside the US. Heading into 2023, the company is also exploring how it might bring its expertise to the public sector. "When you consider the $65 billion of infrastructure funding – broadband funding – that's coming down the pike here, perhaps there's an opportunity. We're just exploring it at this stage," David Strauss, co-founder and principal of Broadband Success Partners and an exec formerly of Lightpath, Comcast, AT&T and Sprint, explained.Meanwhile, investor interest in fiber "is very strong and not abating," says Rolls, an exec who previously held top engineering slots at Charter Communications and Cox Communications, and now serves as CTO of Broadband Success Partners. "I would even say it might be a little stronger than we saw six months ago." And Broadband Success Partners is seeing the notion of the "open access network," a model already somewhat popular in Europe, get more traction and interest in the US. You can download a lightly edited transcript of the podcast here. If you want to skip around and listen, here are a few topics discussed during this podcast:Background on the market focus of Broadband Success Partners and the number of M&A-related due diligence projects completed so far (0:50) On the opportunities emerging outside the US and, within the US, the potential to engage with the billions of dollars being freed up to bring broadband to unserved and underserved areas (4:15) An update on the current level of investor interest in fiber, and how the notion of an "open access network" built on fiber is becoming an emerging topic in the US (6:45) How active Ethernet, not just PON, is making waves in the world of fiber access networks (9:50) How in-home services, such as managed Wi-Fi, are becoming increasingly important attributes for broadband service providers that are trying to differentiate beyond speeds, feeds and pricing (11:30) A discussion on the various options available to cable operators as they pursue what's next on the access network – DOCSIS 3.1 enhancements, future DOCSIS 4.0 upgrades or overbuilds based on fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) technology (17:00) An update on potential pricing for DOCSIS 4.0 network upgrades (22:00) As cable faces slowing broadband subscriber growth, what's more important: keeping prices and margins steady amid that slowdown, or driving promos that can rekindle subscriber growth? (27:00) How fixed wireless is factoring into the discussion, particularly in rural areas (31:45)—Jeff Baumgartner, Senior Editor, Light Reading Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

GCI is doing more than going the extra mile to bring fiber to the Aleutian Chain in Alaska. In fact, it's going hundreds of extra miles below the surface of the ocean to accomplish the feat. Alaska's top service provider is making significant progress on the so-called GCI Alaska United Aleutians Fiber Project, an initiative that will soon start to deploy more than 800 miles of subsea fiber that will serve as the backbone for 2-Gig broadband and other services for communities in the remote, hard-to-reach region. In this case, we're talking about a subsea fiber that will provide baseline connectivity for more than 7,000 people along the Aleutian Chain in the extreme Western end of the state, which includes the Unalaska region and Dutch Harbor of Deadliest Catch fame. The $58 million project (funded by a $25 million grant from the US Department of Agriculture's ReConnect program and $33 million of direct investment by GCI) recently reached a key milestone, as more than 3.7 million pounds of custom-built fiber started its sea journey from Germany to Unalaska aboard the 330-foot-long M/V Vertom Thea cargo ship. Once the fiber reaches British Columbia, it will be loaded onto two cable-laying vessels to complete its journey across the Gulf of Alaska to Unalaska. GCI is in the process of matching its subsea fiber deployment with fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) access networks that will deliver services to homes and businesses along the Aleutian chain. Here's a snapshot of topics covered in this podcast:The scope of the project and why it's important to the region. (1:30)How 2,000 tons of specially-built subsea fiber is being delivered by cargo ship – starting in Germany, and eventually reaching the Unalaska area later this year for deployment by cable-laying vessels. (5:00) How GCI will connect homes and businesses to 2-Gig broadband services once the subsea fiber is deployed and lit up. (10:25) What other services, beyond broadband, that GCI will deliver to homes and business in the region.
