National Strategies for Ultrabroadband Infrastructure Deployment: Experiences and Challenges

February 8, 2010

in Access, Government, The Blog

I came about this today and I thought you might want to know. WIK Consulting is organizing a 1.5 day event (26-27 April in Berlin) to discuss some of the most debatable topics of the FTTH world:

  • What are the key objectives, elements and instruments of the different national broadband strategies?
  • What is the actual role of the state across the different national broadband strategies?
  • What are the key elements of public and PPP-operator models?
  • What role can “universal service obligations” play to reach national broadband coverage
    objectives?
  • Which options are there to secure “openness” of high bit rate broadband infrastructures? What role does “separation” play in this context?
  • What do we really know about costs and benefits of a (near) ubiquitous national high bit rate broadband infrastructure?

These are some serious issues and if you are interested go and check more on their web site.
