Fiber to the home (FTTH) networks will have long-term impacts on the structure of the telecommunications industry. As FTTH networks require large capital expenditures, this raises questions about how the costs of building and maintaining these networks will be balanced with innovation in services. There are also potential evolutions in how value and revenue are shared across the entities in the fiber and internet value chain, including between telecommunications companies, content providers, and users. The future structure and business models of the telecommunications industry will depend on factors such as revenue growth, industry consolidation, the degree of convergence between fixed and mobile networks, and regulatory approaches.
