6 MESSAGE 2: DEPLOYMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND AP-IS

7 Why bandwidth is expensive in Asia? Fierce competition Coast-coast terrestrial TX Good competition Terrestrial & submarine TX Broadband s biggest barrier Poor competition All submarine TX

8 8 The Asia-Pacific Information Superhighway initiative aims to increase the availability and affordability of broadband Internet across Asia and the Pacific, by strengthening the underlying Internet infrastructure in the region. Promote terrestrial and submarine fibre-optic connectivity Provide a regional intergovernmental platform focusing on the missing fibre-optic links between ESCAP countries

9 9 Four Pillars of AP-IS Physical network design Intergovernmental negotiation Asian Highway amendment to include co-deployment CONNECTIVITY TRAFFIC / NETWORK MANAGEMENT Efficient Internet traffic management Resilient ICT networks Ensuring last-mile disaster communication Can withstand disasters E-RESILIENCE BROADBAND FOR ALL Bridging digital divides Promoting affordability to underserved areas

10 MESSAGE 3: STRONG INTERGOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT

11 11 ESCAP resolutions AP-IS is supported by three ESCAP Resolutions: 69/10, 71/10 and 73/6 Specifically in ESCAP Resolution 71/10, Secretariat is requested to: explore further ways to harness cross-sectoral synergies, including through the review of best practices recommend solutions to leverage synergies among ICT, energy and transport infrastructures

12 12 AP-IS and Co-deployment The AP-IS Master Plan and Regional Cooperation Framework Document, as endorsed by ESCAP Resolution 73/6, identifies the co-deployment of fiber optic cables along highways and railways as a costeffective means of increasing the availability of broadband infrastructure, especially in unconnected or underserved rural areas

13 13 Decisions by ICT, and Transport, Committees in 2014 In 2014, Committees on ICT and Transport recommended that consideration should be given to amending the Intergovernmental Agreement on the Asian Highway Network to encourage signatories to consider codeployment

14 MESSAGE 1:CO-DEPLOYMENT BRINGS NET BENEFITS

15 15 Message 4: Benefits of co-deployment Seamless regional connectivity Asian Highway offers seamless regional connectivity Leverage on this passive infrastructure to augment infrastructure seamlessly Cost saving Cost of deployment reduced for the civil engineering work Revenue generation Road Transport Authorities earn additional revenue Bridging the digital divide More ICT networks and services to under-serviced areas

16 16 AP-IS and SDGs Inclusive SDGs Intelligent transport systems Smart cities State-of-the art dry port hubs Paperless trade E-commerce etc. Inclusive Broadband Availability: Co-deployment will increase coverage of broadband networks Affordability: Co-deployment will reduce costs E-resilience: building redundancies contribute to improving resilience of these networks to disaster

17 17 The Energy-, information- and transportation- network Source:Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation Organization (GEIDCO)

18 The Present Integrating Trend of the Three Networks Energy& Information The energy network leverages on the information network The energy network supports the expansion of the information network Sustainable Energy& Transportation Sustainable energy network as a provider of power for vehicles Vehicles are both energy consumers and means of energy transport Transportation& Information ICT improves the information exchange of transport network As a passive infrastructure, transport network and related facilities expand coverage and functioning of information network Energy& Information & Transportation The three major networks have displayed a gradual integrating trend with electricity as the driving force and data as the link Smart energy EV+ charging station Automatic drive Smart city 18 Source:GEIDCO

19 Synergies between ICT and Transport 19 Challenges Cooperation across sectors - Structure/mechanism/regulatory Right-of-way/open access Sharing of revenues/fee structures Ownership of infrastructure Address through technical studies, good practices and amendment to the Agreement

20 Amend the Asian Highway Agreement to capture the benefits of co-deployment The Government of Bangladesh, following the endorsement of its Prime Minister, submitted to the secretariat a proposed amendment to Annex II of the Asian Highway Network Agreement There is an opportunity to leverage synergies between the concomitant deployment of optical fibre cables during the construction or maintenance of the Asian Highway Network. Such co-deployment would create additional cross-country internet transmission routes which would contribute to the reduction of the digital divide in the ESCAP region. In this regard, parties shall endeavor to utilize the right-of-way of the Asian Highway Network for the co-deployment of optical fibre cables across and within countries. The amendment is now up for consideration and adoption at this 7 th Session of the Working Group on the Asian Highway network 20
