2 Broadband-vs vs-ultra Broadband basic BroadBand (bbb): 2 Mbps to everyone copper local loop - best effort / no QoS, typically asymmetric (up / downstream) e-government; e-banking; basic e-health / e-education / e-home; wireless possible also anti digital divide (rural / underserved areas) extended (or Fast) BroadBand (ebb / FBB): 7 20 Mbps symmetry / QoS / speed not guaranteed (focus on average speed) copper local loop (FTTC) - ATT, Qualcomm, Belgacom, BT,. web 2.0, photo / file transfer, fair quality TV, music, videoclips,.. wireless possible (HSPA, LTE, ) caveat on # of users in the cell Ultra (or Super Fast) BroadBand (UBB - SFB): > 30 Mbps, trend Mbps -- QoS / speed / link symmetry guaranteed substantially optical technologies wireless breakthroughs possible Radio over Fiber (RoF) outdoor islands Femtocells (with FTTH) in general terms: BB < ~10 0 Mbps; UBB > ~30 Mbps

5 What kind of broadband technologies for the future fixed or wireless or both? the gap between the two classes of technologies tends to remain ~constant

6 An example of fixed-mobile convergence: femtocells Building walls sufficient to prevent signal from leaking out into the streets in the same way they prevent the signal getting in

7 Impact on Jobs, Productivity & Innovation ITIF (The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation), March 2009 (1/2) «Although projects to improve the country s traditional physical infrastructure (e.g., roads, bridges, sewer systems) are necessary and important, investments in certain parts of our national information technology (IT) infrastructure America s digital infrastructure will have a greater positive impact on jobs, productivity, and innovation.» ITIF has developed estimates of the network effects of IT-based infrastructure investments. They arise from the new consumer and business behaviors, functionalities, and downstream industries enabled by the IT infrastructure. The network effect employment multiplier refers to the new jobs that will be created through the new applications and services many manifested in entirely new industries and/or firms that digital infrastructure makes possible. 7

Private investments in black areas full (infrastructure / service) competition Address BB digital divide / USO issues brownfield vs-greenfield urban-vs-remote served-vs-underserved / unserved Switch over from analogue to digital TV digital spectrum dividend State as facilitator to achieve the necessary levels of investment Address ICT as National priority strategic tool of economic policy to boost economy / improve quality of life ICT Industrial Policy / digital plan increase productivity ICT as an accelerator of economic crisis recovery address ICT illitteracy
