Building Blocks and Rationale of Broadband Plans

Vincent ROGER-MACHART

“Implementation of WRC-15 Outcomes and Development of National Broadband Plans”, Cotonou, 26 April 2016

Objectives

Allowing the access to broadband services throughout the country Bridging the digital divide

Building a broadband plan

Assessment of the situation Relevant solutions Economic analysis: costs and potential revenues Definition of the National Broadband Plan

2

National Broadband Plans

ICT diffusion impacts positively the country development

3

Assessment: Impact of Geographic Information

4

Assessment: Administrative details

Administrative contours Population density Towns and villages Etc

5

Assessment: Existing infrastructure

Telecom networks High points Roads Power grids Railways Etc.

6

Assessment: Points of Interest

Administrative centers Hospitals, health centers Universities, schools Border control checkpoints Etc.

Legal and regulatory framework Ambitions of Stakeholders: deployment projects, services, etc. Needs:

Administration (e.g. e-Gov, e-Education, e-Health, etc.) Private operators and ISP Specific projects Specific sectors (e.g. tourism, agriculture, etc.)

Benchmark (regional, international)

7

Assessment

8

Relevant Technical Solutions (1) National Backbone

9

Relevant Technical Solutions (2)

31% of Points of Interest within 0-50 km 19% of Points of Interest within 50-100 km

10

Relevant Technical Solutions (3) Main towers

11

Relevant Technical Solutions (4) 63% of the points of interest are covered

Keep track of situation evolution with GIS tools

International and national capacity: backbone, submarine cable, etc. Access Network

Fixed vs. Mobile Wireless vs. Wireline Terrestrial vs. Satellite

Local IXP / Datacenter Infrastructure sharing: active/passive, wholesale offers, unbundling, bitstream, etc.

12

Technical Solutions Evaluation

13

Economic analysis

Evaluation of Costs and Potential Revenues An iterative process to adjust the ambition

Solution Definition and Modelling Cost Calculation (CAPEX - OPEX) Revenue Estimation Feasability

(Financial, Political, Operational decision)

• Re-assess
• SWOT Analysis
• Prioritize
• Adjust to Financial

Possibilities

• Match Political

Priorities

14

Supply side policies (examples)

Neutral open access backbone Licensing, spectrum assignment, with coverage obligations Connection of points of interest Infrastructure sharing between telecom stakeholders and access to non-telecom infrastructures Incentives to deploy network in remote areas Technical standard definition Pricing policy: promote competition by regulating the wholesale market, audit the retail offers Local or regional hosting and exchange capacity

15

Impact of Licencing Policy

Level of Sharing and Impact No Sharing between Operators Sharing based on Private Initiative Sharing fostered by State/Regulator Coverage Obligations Territorial Structuration Urban concentration Limited extent of the coverage Coverage if ROI Coverage of Remote Areas Competition Intense, Limited to Dense Areas Intense in Dense Areas but Heterogeneous Intense in Dense Areas, Global and Heterogeneous State Income Higher on the Short Term Higher on the Short Term Less Income on the Short Term Less Income on the Short Term, but positive Impact on Economic Growth Infrastructure based Competion Services based Competion

16

Demand side policies (examples)

e-Gov, availablity of online public services Trust and security: facilitate online transactions, address cybercrime Enhance information: e.g. prices and offers monitoring Innovation clusters, support to industry Fostering local contents Development training and digital literacy improvement Work with civil society to develop specific applications: agriculture, tourism, health Communication: make all stakeholders and the society aware of the availibilty and potential of broadband services

Laws and regulation Direct incentives

Subsidies, public funding Public private partnerships, Build operate transfer Public procurement Reduce taxes on equipment

Indirect incentives

Sectorial support Training Develop ICT for Development programs

Implement quick wins to engage stakeholders Share the broadband plan: public consultations, workshops
