SAVE THE DATE – 29 June 2011, Renaissance Brussels Hotel, Brussels
The Commission has set ambitious targets for high speed broadband in Europe – but progress to date has been slow. At the ECTA’s one day conference ‘Triggering Fibre in Europe‘ on 29 June, we will explore what commercial and policy initiatives are needed to trigger fibre investment and take-up, including the regulatory environment, retail and wholesale pricing strategies for legacy copper and fibre networks, optimal business models for fibre roll-out, and the conditions in which ‘copper switch-off’ could occur. This debate on triggering fibre investment comes at a critical time as the Commission prepares to issue guidance on wholesale pricing and other key regulatory issues which will influence the business case for high-speed broadband in Europe. Different business models for fibre roll-out and competitive access will be explored through presentations from operators and the investor community including Sean Williams, Group Strategy Director at BT.
