Abstract

This chapter presents a techno-economic evaluation of strategies for developing the traditional access network along a cost effective path towards a future-proof multiservice broadband network A broad range of appropriate network alternatives have been assessed for each of five representative European upgrade cases. The technology options that have been evaluated range from conventional copper based networks to emerging new technologies such as hybrid fibre coax (HFC) networks and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) based broadband passive optical networks (PONs) 1.
