Presentación de la Comisionada Labardini en el Canadian Spectrum Summit 2017LabardiniA
The document discusses spectrum policy and mobile broadband development in Mexico. Some key points:
- Mexico has over 120 million people distributed across diverse geographic areas, with significant inequality between urban and rural populations. 61% have mobile broadband penetration nationally.
- Spectrum is allocated through commercial licenses awarded via auction, as well as social licenses to promote connectivity in underserved rural communities. The government has created the Red Compartida, a wholesale 4G network using 700MHz spectrum, to boost competition.
- Mexico has made progress in freeing spectrum for mobile use, including reallocating the 800MHz and planning to clear the 600MHz band, but still has unserved areas due to challenges of low population density. 5G

Influencing factors on your FTTx architecture - FTTH Europe Conference 2018 w...Comsof
Overview of internal and external factors that impact the network architecture
An operator chooses how to deploy its FTTH network. This is determined by the corporate strategy and is influenced by external market and regional factors. In this presentation we zoom in on these factors and strategic choices and examine the cost impact and practical implications of different architectures. We also look into real-life implementations from eir (Ireland) and Guifi-net (Spain).
The document discusses fiber optic deployment in Europe and regulatory models, and considers their applicability to broadband deployment in the United States. It finds that open access networks are more economically viable, and that neither duopoly nor vertically integrated private investment alone will achieve nationwide next-generation broadband access within 3-5 years without a profitable wholesale model. An "NGA-style" net neutrality approach of guaranteed wholesale capacity could enhance service competition.
Session 5 Gabrielle Gauthey Communications Regulation Time To Start Overguest6559451
The document discusses several topics related to multimedia content delivery and broadband networks, including:

State Aid N407/2009 EU Resolution
• State Aid is the appropriate instrument
(97) Demand-side measures in favor of broadband could be an
instrument of public intervention. However, these measures do
not solve the illustrated problems on the supply side. As regards
regulation, despite its crucial role in ensuring competition and
supply in the market for electronic communications, evidence
shows that in some areas of Catalonia regulation has not fully
been able to ensure effective competition in some of the markets
for electronic communications and has not led to sufficient
investments to bridge the digital divide affecting certain areas.
Regulation is, indeed, a necessary, but not a sufficient
instrument for the development of broadband services …
