29th - 30th January 2013
Jan Kubalik

2. What the presentation is about?
• Digital Agenda for Europe
• Broadband overview
• PPP overview
• Project methodology

3. PPP4Broadband presentation
Digital Agenda for Europe

4. Digital Agenda for Europe

5. Digital Agenda for Europe
What is DAE?: Flagship initiative in the Smart Growth priority of Europe
2020 strategy
What is DAE?: Transnational action plan for “enabling EU citizen’s and
businesses to get most out of digital technologies“
What PPP4Broadband address?: DAE consists from 101 actions and 7
pillars. PPP4B address directly Pillar IV fast and ultra-fast internet access
Where I will find more?:

Broadband coverage in Europe ( yearly issued; last issue for 2011)
BIAC ( Broadband internet access cost – last issue for 2012)
Supply of services in monitoring regulatory and market developments for electronic
communications and information society services in Enlargement Countries ( 2011 – 2013)

Broadband overview

7. Broadband technologies
We are following DG CONNECT current methodology, thus we are for project defining following
3 groups of Broadband based on technologies:
“Standard Broadband” – DSL, FTTP, WiMAX and Standard Cable
“Mobile Broadband” – HSPA, LTE*
“Next Generation Access ( NGA ) Broadband – VDSL, FTTP and Docsis 3 cable
Notes:
LTE is currently not relevant for PPP4B as it is available just in Austria and not in rural areas ( thus currently Mobile
Broadband data will be demonstrated purely at HSDPA technology coverage
Broadband according DAE definition should provide at least 144kbps download speed ( SB & MB fulfils)
NGA compromises technologies providing 30Mbps ds
Reference for following graphs: Broadband coverage in Europe 2011 Study

8. Broadband technologies
PPP4B follows current DAE Methodology & Terminology, thus there is shift:
Mobile -> Mobile Broadband
Fixed DSL -> Standard Broadband
Fixed Other -> NGA Broadband

PPP overview

17. Public Private Partnership
What is PPP?: Cooperative ventures between public authorities and private
enterprises ( EC DG Internal Market and Services)
What PPP4Broadband address?: 1. Development of PPP Centres of
Excellence; 2. Using PPP model for Broadband development

Delivering PPP promise ( PWC report)
Proposal to establish an International PPP Centre of Excellence (UNEPE)

18. PPP & Broadband
Following EPEC methodology we will adapt 4 PPP models:
Private DBO ( Design – Build – Operate) – Private sector design, build and operate
broadband infrastructure, public sector applies strict control ( mostly used for actions co-
financed from structural funding scheme)
Public DBO – Public sector ( mostly separate public owned company) design, build and
operate. Most used in case there is specific public fund available for excluded area.
PPP Joint Venture – joint-venture results mostly in new entity set up. Private actor is taking
responsibility for Building and Operating. Public one invest significant part of investment ,
but private one takes over responsibility for financing till the network becomes self
financed.
GOCO PPP model – so called “Government contacted – Contractor operated. In other
terms Public Outsourcing. It is generally most used PPP model according current research.

23. 9 PPP4Broadband Models
Methodological approaches:
Variant A: Models will describe general application of PPP types per Broadband areas (
filling PPP4Broadband Matrix)
Variant B: Models will be more specific – proposing more concrete models inside
PPP4Broadband Matrix
Decision will be part of project research
PPP4Broadband Models will include:
Model overall description and definition
Financial models and plans
Cost benefit analysis
Impact analysis
Other documentation which will be found as necessary during project implementation

24. PPP4Broadband Centre of Excellence
Basic objectives of PPP4Broadband Centres :
Knowledge & expertise– each Centre will have full set of documentation and procedures
description for all 9 PPP4Broadband models ( contract samples, full procurement
methodology etc.)
Guidance and advisory– i.e. selection of most appropriate model based on procurer needs
Education and awareness creation
PPP Centre of Excellence ( or similar) samples:
UNEPE PPP Centre of Excellence
PPP Centrum - Czech republic
Institute for PPP - Poland
EPEC – European PPP Expertise Centre
Associate PPP – Czech republic

What?:
Realize 3 Pilot Actions performed by 3 National CoE ( ROM, FYROM, GRE)
Why?:
To prove the concept of established PPP4Broadband CoEs
Where?:
Rural Suburb of Patras Municipality ( GRE)
Cindrel Mountains Area (ROM) – maybe it will be redefined
Rural area of Berovo municipality ( FYROM)
