General Information

Disclaimer

I finished my Ph.D. project in 2007. I am currently working on diverse telecom topics but do not maintain or add new content to this web-page. My dissertation is accessible on the publications page, but otherwise the content of this page remains as I left off in 2006/2007.

This is an information page for my Ph.D. project, entitled "Techno-Economics of Residential Broadband Deployment". The page provides information about me, the project, project status and results, as well as links to interesting information sources on multimedia services.

  • Project Scope


    The project analyzes the transition from copper to fibre based broadband access networks. The focus is on the technological alternatives and financial viability of upgrade strategies for incumbents possessing legacy copper networks in comparison to entrant strategies based on Fibre-to-the-Home deployment. The aim is to highlight technological, economic, and political factors that drive infrastructure development, shape competition between incumbents and entrants, and affect the policy goals aimed at promoting broadband deployment.
