1. FTTH networks face several economic challenges including high upfront infrastructure costs, lack of regulations, and uncertain subscriber uptake.
2. Network sharing is proposed as a solution to mitigate these risks by reducing costs through shared infrastructure and operations.
3. Key drivers of network sharing adoption are cost savings, supportive regulations, and the role of a neutral network provider to enable sharing between service providers.

Fiber to the Home: Making That Business Model WorkYankee Group
What are the technologies that will power the Anywhere Network®? As our old-generation network expires and broadband becomes more utility than luxury, many have begun to question whether a sustainable and profitable business model for fiber exists. With a virtually unlimited capacity, scalability and potential for ubiquitous-ness, the technology itself appears a sure winner in the race for the next-generation network. But what will make fiber a successful investment?
Vendors and service providers have struggled with finding a business model that works for fiber to the home (FTTH). The current single source, one service provider for one customer model is too constrained. Rather, companies must look beyond the historical strategy of investment versus competition, embrace interoperability and work together to employ an open-access model for FTTH.
In this webinar, analysts Benoit Felten and Wally Swain explore how an open-access FTTH business model works, how to optimize it and what makes it the best solution for vendors and service providers.

FTTH Deployment in Ireland: Eir's experiences (workshop FTTH EU Conference 2016)Comsof
Ireland is an interesting market to focus on, as FTTH deployment in Ireland involves different players, varying types of population densities and different architectures and deployment methods. The very competitive market structure in some parts of the country is countered by government involvement to improve the infrastructure for rural areas. Eir’s Senior Access Strategist, David Renehan will explain how they handle all these difficulties and will highlight their learnings from the project, while experts from Comsof and GE dive into specific issues in the planning and deployment process.
This is the presentation from a workshop at the FTTH EU Conference 2016 titled "Learning from Real life cases - key success factors during preparation of a FTTH rollout" organized by iMinds, GE and FiberPlanIT.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

FTTH for the foreseeable future is going to be the preferred choice for fix
Broadband, because much higher capacity than traditional cable
Background
Rollout
Challenges
Service Provider are faced with several challenges that threaten the
economic viability of these networks. These challenges include (but are not
limited to);
High cost of the passive infrastructure – civil works constitute an
estimated 60-70% of the initial investment
Regulations – lack of properly defined regulations for the deployment of
FTTH
Subscriber uptake – in markets where users have limited budget, Service
Provider are faced with the challenge of rolling out in non-economically
viable regions
Return on Investment – FTTH deployments usually require high up-take
by customers (Long ROI periods)
Risk on
Investment
To mitigate these risks and associated challenges, Service Provider can get
into infrastructure sharing
3. ① Several factors contribute to the FTTH go-to-market deployment
Network Sharing to drive FTTH go-to-market
② Several drivers contribute to the adoption of FTTH network sharing
adoption:
Cost Saving – reduction of overall network roll-out and coperational costs
Regulations – active regulatory policies encouraging and rewarding
sharing initiatives
Competition – Increase competitive pricing favours new entrants and
aggressive Service Provider
Reduced Civil Work – relatively high trenching cost avoided when
engaging in sharing scheme

4. Typical FTTH Architecture & Drivers for Investment Required
FTTH architectures are based on several components whose investment requirements vary based
on the interplay of multiple factors
Factors that increase the FTTH investment required include: lower household density, greater linear distance
between households, fewer homes per CO, higher service uptake, more buried plant

› Initial investment for 1,000 home-pass
~IDR3,4 billions
› Land Acquisition, Permit, Regulation cost
› Operation & Maintenance cost
› Faster Deployment & remove unpredictable cost
› “Zero” Capex
› Reducing the hassle on Operation, maintenance

› Market Price Lease Cost is about 30-40% of Retail
Price: IDR 100K/HC/month
② New Home Connection › Drop Wire ~IDR 1.7 Mn/home
› CPE/ONT ~ IDR 1 Mn/home
③ Risk on Investment
› Uptake rate 30%
› Risk on Unuse 70% capacity
*) Based on market research, customer budget on Media/Comm about 5% of household spending
