11 The Swedish broadband story State subsidy for residential PC mid 90th Need for infrastructure in the municipals mid 90th Expansion towards the market earning trust late 90th Broadband demand from the households early 00th State subsidy boosted infrastructure expansions 2001 Making local fiber infrastructure accessible mid 00th Demand for higher bandwidth increases heavily late 00th The Government decide a broadband goal for Sweden 2009 The households more and more asking for fiber late 00th Fiber-fever

12 Substantial differences in conditions for fiber 4/26/2017 Urban area Apartment block 2,3 million hh Many customers Willingness to invest Several infrastructures Urban area single-family houses Rural area 2 million hh 0,3 million hh Limited willing to invest Costly per hh Few alternative infrastructure Fewer alternative Fiber to the farm Willing to invest, if state subsidies 12

13 Fiber to the villa example of investment 2 million villas Now app 42 % fiber connected (total nearby 61 %) Fierce competition between Telia, local fiber networks and other actors Selling for pre orders building when % said yes. Webpages where you can register Almost a fight between different villa areas to be first with 50 % pre orders One time fee average Euro high paying willingness! 13

14 Rural areas fiber to the farm Infrastructure building by the citizens example of investment! subsi dies! 140 m Eur/ye ar Also given education, templates and guidelines for fiber to the farm

15 COMPETITION MEANS LOW PRICES FREEDOM OF CHOICES PROFITABLE INDUSTRY

16 Value Chain End customer 4 3 Operation* 2 1 Service providers Capacity Dark fiber * Operation includes 13 vital functions 16

17 How the three open network business models are implemented in Sweden PLOM - ALOM Wholesale: Only Dark fiber Wholesale: Only Ethernet Capacity (no dark fiber) Only used in a few local fiber networks Only used in a few local fiber networks 3LOM Wholesale Offer: Dark fiber Ethernet Capacity Operation Most common and preferred model 17

18 Which types of infrastructure are built? FTTC All cabinets is connected with fiber for internal use. Approx. 5-8% of the cabinets is for external sale. FTTB Approx % of all MDUs are connected with fiber. FTTH Approx. 42% of SDUs are connected with fiber 18

19 Wholesale Products Offer dark fiber on equal terms (94%) Offer capacity - and transmission services on equal terms (67%) The local fiber networks should not offer their own end customer services. 19

31 Local fiber networks create Increased competition The local fiber networks are a prerequisite for a functioning broadband market. Open networks The open network that owns the local fiber networks is the guarantor of "equal access to the network" and operator independent networks. Broadband for more The local fiber networks are an important tool in the work to take a holistic approach to deployment in a municipality where both urban and rural are included. Perplexity for municipalities There will be a rapid digitalization of municipal services in the coming years. This will provide new challenges for the municipalities and demands a comprehensive digital strategy. Local development A prosperous business is an important issue for the municipality. This work represents the city network an important tool to improve the local conditions to conduct business. Future smart communities While today we have a strong focus on the expansion of broadband households will need to connect even things grow strongly in the coming years. This can include everything from lamp posts to bus stops. 31
