This is presentation I gave at a Codeworks event in Gateshead looking at the service opportunities arising from the shift to Next Generation broadband platforms.

1. what is NGA?

2. NGA or super-fast?

3. Bandwidth is becoming irrelevant IEEE later this year

4. Today’s market: always over the top Internet All services must sit on top of an ISP Net neutrality is dictated by a single ISP The physical infrastructure is dictated by perhaps 3 companies BT, Virgin, KCom ISP Email Web Transit IP Access BT Voice Service Line Rental Customer

6. Most ISP’s resell BT Wholesale offerings

7. Marginal investment

8. Little scope for technical innovation

9. Those that do invest, do so in the same places

10. Typically along with cable & WiMAX operators

11. Expectations of market share must be small

12. Most differentiate on price alone

13. Ever eroding margins

15. Multiple VLANs

17. Summary NGA is not just quicker – its transformational Its not just a technology but an approach No longer over the top It creates massive new opportunities to innovate
