In light of the current situation with regards
to the review of the EU telecoms framework, this conference will explore future
Next Generation Access deployment. Issues will be explored such as
implementation and regulation, shared risk models, and open network access/
network neutrality. Amid the current economic climate, increased government
involvement in the roll-out of broadband networks for next-generation access
(NGA) networks could imply a variety of regulatory and policy stances. This
event will provide a platform for debate for creating the right balance between
investment strategies, implementation, possible architectures and implications
on services and innovation versus the need for
regulation.
Day
1 will focus on the Investment and developing a framework that allows players
to maximise the huge potential that NGNs offer. By examining the various
regulatory toolsthat are available, it will look at best practices in developing
aninvestment friendly environment whilst maintaining a level
playingfield.
Day
2 moves on to look at
NGA deployment.It will review how the
deployment of broadband is likely to emerge andconcepts involved with this
including fixed and mobile business modelsand FTTH. How will the infrastructure
be implemented and how will thisaffect both existing players and new entrants?
