Very interesting debate held between Openreach, NexFibre, and CityFibre earlier at #Connectedbritain Interesting topics from market conditions, landscape of investment, and the consolidation of the Alt-Net market…. Although they didn’t agree on all points, what was evident is the future of network deployment is very positive, with lots still to do and the need to do it faster. #openreach #nexfibre #cityfibre

The growth of the fiber based broadband services is fueled by various factors including increased demand for reliable high-speed internet, rising data consumption, government initiatives on bridging digital divide - all contributing to the need for robust broadband infrastructure along with long-term cost savings which can be provided by FTTx deployments. There is an increasing momentum for the XGS-PON and multi-PON OLT/ ONT platforms that ease the technology evolution from the service providers' point of view. Tejas xPON platforms are designed for a seamless technology evolution. Our platforms are used in some of the largest fiber roll-outs in the world - such as the BharatNet (https://lnkd.in/gPzabak7)   Find more about our OLT (https://lnkd.in/g92uyN75 ) and ONT (https://lnkd.in/ga6Myzc9) platforms and explore how our platforms can help you achieve your xPON network expansion and evolution. #Telecom #TejasNetworks #ICT #ONTs #Connectivity #Innovation #MarketTrends

How did MS3 Networks Limited bring free market competition to the peculiar telecoms island of Hull? Check out my latest industry interview with CEO Guy Miller to find out: https://lnkd.in/eX4hiE3D Big thanks Guy for a fascinating and unique insight into the very peculiar telecoms island of Hull, and how MS3 Networks has successfully built a full fibre Alt-Net there to compete with the incumbent, KCOM, significantly boosting free market competition.   MS3 has built to just over 200k premises, of which about 130k are in Hull and about 80k are in Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Immingham, and Mexborough. Guy tells me that Hull is more profitable than the Openreach areas, because although building in Hull is twice as expensive, MS3 enjoys three times the market penetration. With 15,000 customers on the network currently, MS3’s overall market penetration is about 7%, but that rises to 29% for areas that have been built for between 2 and 3 years.   Unlike many Alt-Nets, MS3 is wholesale only, and has around 50-60 partners, which guy says is probably too many. His “utopia” is to move towards a smaller number of bigger Layer 2 partners, with the current Layer 3 partners connecting via the Layer 2 partners. The impact of Ofcom’s/The One Touch Switching Company’s new consumer broadband switching regime was interesting to hear about, as MS3 used to take orders on behalf of its partners, but this is not allowed under One Touch Switch.   MS3 has just last week managed to get some access to KCOM’s ducts and poles, after a long struggle. This will allow MS3 to get to some of the more outlying areas of the Hull licensed area, and deliver on its ambition to cover all 210k premises.   Guy comments on MS3’s original ambition of a half-million premises network build, telling me that they didn’t anticipate there being 100 other builders when the ambition was set. He admits that building another 300k premises at this point would not be a good idea, and so acquisition would be the only sensible route to reach the original ambition.   Guy goes on to talk about the financial strength of MS3, in a market with its fair share of financial worry currently. MS3 is debt free, which is very unusual in the Alt-Net world, and Guy claims that MS3 will not only be EBITDA positive very shortly, but that it will be the first Alt-Net to be cash positive.   Finally, Guy talks about the spot of bother he’s had with telegraph poles in Hedon. #fullfibre #altnet #gigabit #hull #freemarketcompetition Zen Internet

Driving penetration is now the number one focus for the Altnets in the UK. The average consumer take-up across altnet networks is currently at 16%, half that of Openreach at 32%, despite the collective footprint of challengers now equalling that of the incumbent. We explore why this is and what needs to change to address it. I'm very happy to talk to anyone with a view on the situation and ways it can be addressed. In Part two (watch this space) we will provide valuble insights and actionable recommendations to drive penetration from some of the very best practice.

5G is halfway through its lifecycle as a one-generation solution, but why is its growth so difficult in the UK? Operators have never really understood the business model of 5G and have tried to replicate the success of the network pipeline operations of the 3G and 4G era. They wasted lots of time.... https://lnkd.in/edMBBFUm It's time to rethink your application business. https://lnkd.in/ejt54TC3

It was wrong for the CRTC to set an objective for “affordable access to high-quality Internet services” without a more complete discussion or definition of "affordable". The way the term was used in the wholesale broadband policy strikes me as an attempt to score political points. The Commission might consider investing its attention to the more serious challenge of identifying the non-price factors inhibiting adoption of digital connectivity.

Network Operations Ninja Academy (NONA) of the Future. We were honoured to be guests on the Zero-Touch Telecom (ZTT) show last week. The discussion mainly revolved around a highly problematic skills gap that’s likely to widen between network masters and apprentices once we introduce significant automation via tools such as AIOps and the like. In response, Michael P. asked a great question, "With the shift towards automation, what are some innovative ways we can cultivate the next generation of network experts?" https://lnkd.in/gumxKd4B If we look at the 12 dilemmas we face on the journey to zero-touch operations, you'll notice that Dilemma #8 ponders a very similar question, "If the ninjas of the future no longer have a comprehensive apprenticeship (dilemma #2) and are dealing only with outages that have never been seen before (dilemma #4), then we arguably no longer have a ninja team that can diagnose root-cause from memories of past patterns." Creating a "Network Operations Ninja Academy (NONA)" that prepares individuals to handle unprecedented network outages (black swan events) requires a shift from traditional network ops training methods to a multidisciplinary approach. It's clear that such an approach would need to emphasise psychological resilience, adaptive thinking to handle unforeseeable situations and cross-functional leadership of experts. As Geoff Hollingworth pointed out in the preamble to the ZTT show, this would seem to align with special-forces military training (not that I've ever been on any special-forces training). This academy would not just be a training ground but a think-tank for pioneering network solutions, ultimately creating a cadre of "ninjas" adept at managing and resolving crises that have never been faced before. The question then, is how might one construct a Network Operations Ninja Academy? In today's article, I share a few thoughts on how I might build a NONA. To read them, click on the link to the full article in the first comment below. I'd love to hear your thoughts too as I'm certain to have missed a few important considerations!

“FTTx (Home/Enterprise) networks are being rolled out as we move to a 10+ Gbps society. The operations of these networks need to be automated and fiber cut issues should be tackled earlier.” “Our Assurance, Automation and AI capabilities reduce the time to detect and repair fiber issues by 90%, and reduce truck rolls up to 75%, which allows CSPs to monetize their investment in fiber and deliver cutting-edge digital customer experiences across applications such as gaming.” Listen to Mounir Ladki, President and CTO, in an exclusive interview with Telecom Review, where he discusses the primary drivers shaping Telcos' priorities and how MYCOM OSI assists in addressing critical service issues.
