Rural broadband opportunities & challengesLyddington case study

Small computer services company
Exploited the Undertakings to become LLUO
Delved further into SLU
Full Metallic Path facilities (MPF)
VDSL + VOIP/POTS
1st UK commercial deployment – Lyddington
Innovative and shaping policy
Big Society model

Main elements in SLU/FTTC
Rural demand – niche opportunity
Capital cost of deployment: cabinet, power, backhaul, connection fees. Highly variable.
Running cost – viability threshold
Local service & support
Presence of PCP & accuracy of PCP data
Planning permission
Technical/regulatory issues

PCP Lyddington (Uppingham TE)

Exchange
PCP

Stoke Dry – Thomas
5km from exchange
2km from PCP
ADSL Max 0.3Mbps
VDSL 12-15Mbps
Profile 8c with power backoff (CAL)
Number ported into VoIP
Streaming iPlayer demonstrated
Fastest broadband for a house furthest from a UK telephone exchange

Exchange
Thomas - trial
PCP

SLU Viability @ 50 customers
Capital outlay: £45,000 (£20,000 ECCs)
Running cost: backhaul, power, MPF rental <£20/month
Revenue from line rental and broadband £25/month
Revenue from calls
Revenue from data e.g. streaming video 2.5Mbps 4hrs/day =136GB/month
Revenue from computer services
Revenue from key business: leased-line emulation
Future possibilities: FTTH, ANFP exemption

Challenges
Capital outlay: Lyddington <£250/premises (£1000)
Digital Britain report: up to £1750/premises
Galvanising local support
Openreach un-innovative
PCP location
PCP data
Power supply
Cabinet aesthetics
Technical/regulatory issues
Access to ducts & poles
Alternatives to Openreach

Wireless Backhaul
Alternative to fibre
5.8GHz spectrum – 25 miles LOS
100Mbps with basic equipment
Rural exchanges (cable-link)

PCP - planning

PCP - pavement width

Rural broadband niche opportunity
Too small & specialised for major ISPs
Bigger bandwidth & PAYG data is the future
Holistic approach – internal wiring, computer services, VoIP-QOS, 5.8GHz wireless, pushing boundaries with regulators
Future opportunities e.g. SKY TV, FTTH, Medical monitoring
Private/public investment - payback

"Local infrastructure projects - such as the work that Rutland Telecom is doing - have a key role to play in the roll-out of next generation broadband; helping speed up the availability of new services in remote areas. We congratulate Rutland Telecom on what has been achieved so far and will be watching their future projects with interest“Stephen Carter: Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform

A personal message from Stephen Fry“Sorry I can’t be there on the big launch day but I just wanted to send my personal support. I am old enough to remember the great postal strike of 1970 or 71 when Rutland issued its own postage stamps. This is a far more important step.I am fantastically impressed by the enterprise, initiative and technical savvy of Rutland Telecom and wish them well here in Uppingham and in the wider UK beyond”

There are plenty of myths…
BT is not interested in rural broadband
BT does not listen to our broadband needs
BT focuses on short-term payback
If it is not 100 Mbps it is not future proof
Bringing fibre to rural communities is easy
The answer is wireless
The cost of backhaul is delaying the roll-out of fibre

BT is making a major investment in fibre access
£2.5bn investment to roll-out fibre to two-thirds of UK premises by 2015
Install c.30,000 cabinets in over 1,000 exchanges
Lay over 50,000km of fibre
Supported by 32,000 engineers
FTTC: enabling 2,400 – 3000 cabinets a quarter
FTTP: pilots underway
10m premises passed by2012
Two-thirds premises passed by 2015
ADSL enabled for 99% of all premises
1.5m premises passed by summer 2010
4m premises passed by end of 2010

“Competition ready” platform fosters growth…

Our connectivity services are aimed at government, consumers and businesses
Increase in bandwidth, service levels, performance
Ethernet
1 Gbps
Total BB Fibre (FTTC + FTTP)
40/100 Mbps
Total BB
8 Mbps
Total BB ADSL2+
24 Mbps
More than 800 Ethernet PoPs, 90% of business premises are within 5km of an Ethernet node today
Fibre speeds available to two- thirds of premises in UK by Spring 2015
Available to c.75% of premises in UK Spring 2011
Already available to 99% of premises in UK

BET – part of the solution for remote areas
Beyond ~6km (cable length) from the exchange, broadband service will likely be slow and / or unstable
Exchange
Speeds over copper are distance dependent
BET extends the range from 6km to 12km
We can deliver this today

Analysys Mason’s view of Herefordshire
NGA likelihood at 65% rollout
