It outlines the key targets for broadband coverage by 2020, available EU funds, and examples of state aid budgets in various EU member states for broadband deployment. It also summarizes the EU state aid rules for broadband, including the types of aid measures that require notification, criteria like proportionality of aid and technological neutrality, and specific conditions for supporting next generation access (NGA) networks.
The document examines the business case for WiMAX technology and finds that while vendors are enthusiastic, few business cases will actually be viable. Business cases showing attractive returns are based on optimistic assumptions about factors like competition, adoption rates, and revenue per user. Only a small number of opportunities, like in some developing markets or rural areas of developed countries, may have viable long-term business cases for WiMAX. In most urban areas of developed markets, WiMAX will struggle to compete with established DSL services and it is unlikely mobile operators will adopt WiMAX unless they have no other options.
Strategies for the promotion of broadband services and infrastructure: a case...Ed Dodds
This report has been prepared for the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) by Mr. Russell
Southwood, CEO, Balancing Act - a consultancy and research company focused on telecoms, Internet and
broadcast in Africa. It has been developed based on desk research and on Mr. Southwood’s experience of
the Nigerian market over a ten year period.
We would especially like to thank Dr Eugene Juwah, Executive Vice Chairman/CEO - Nigeria
Communications Commission for his invaluable support.
This study was funded by the ITU and the Broadband Commission for Digital Development.
It is part of a new series of ITU reports on broadband that are available online and free of charge at the
Broadband Commission website: www.broadbandcommission.org/and at the ITU Universe of Broadband
portal: www.itu.int/broadband.
This document summarizes progress made in implementing Action Line C2 of the WSIS, which focuses on information and communication infrastructure. Some key points:
- Access to ICTs has improved due to wireless technology, though coverage gaps remain in developing areas. Many countries have universal service programs to extend coverage.
- Convergence of voice, data and video onto IP networks is placing increasing strain on network infrastructure as more content is accessed via smartphones and tablets.
- International standards help create a level playing field and reduce costs. The ITU has developed standards to support emerging technologies.
- Broadband access and national broadband plans have significant economic and social impacts, but deployment challenges remain in rural areas.

Nasir faruk tv white spaces presentation iad2014Adrian Hall
Nasir Faruk presents on the prospect of deploying TV white space in Africa. Some key points:
1) TV white space refers to unused portions of spectrum between 54-862 MHz that can be used without interfering with TV broadcast signals. It provides an opportunity to address the scarcity of radio spectrum and lack of broadband access in Africa.
2) Africa significantly lags behind other regions in key broadband metrics like subscriptions and speeds. TV white space could help connect rural communities and drive economic and social development.
3) WaveTek Nigeria is leading research efforts on TV white space in the country through field surveys, modeling, and prototype deployments. Their aim is to help Nigeria meet national targets for internet access

The document summarizes Indonesia's mobile broadband policy and implementation challenges. It outlines Indonesia's national broadband plan which aims to increase fixed broadband households to 40-75% and mobile broadband population coverage to 75% by 2017. It discusses implementation challenges around spectrum refarming of bands like 2100MHz, 700MHz and 1800MHz. It also describes Indonesia's national submarine backbone project to improve connectivity and meet growing demand for mobile broadband spectrum.

8. Choice of investment model 8
The guide is illustrated with findings from
operational projects
18800-392
9. Overall recommendations 9
Overall recommendations are focused on
delivering maximum benefit to end users
Socio economic benefit must be managed alongside project
sustainability to deliver long term benefits
Long term control by public sector can protect end user benefit,
however the private operators can bring invaluable expertise
Sustainability is critical as socio-economic benefits will take time
The bottom up model may suit small scale fibre projects
Long term non-profit view of end users suits the fibre business
case, but this may be difficult to leverage on a large scale
Small investments can provide a catalyst through partnerships
Open and non-discriminatory access to infrastructure supports
effective competition
However, the investment requirements for passive and active
access must be carefully considered
