Open AccessPolicies, Opportunities and Challenges
Internet Future is Broadband
Broadband is critical for soci-ecominc development
Internet Users demand high bandwidth ( e.g telecommuting, HD TV, Multimedia sharing, …etc )
Machine to Machine and Internet of Things
Development of an Knowledge economy, diversification and DP growth
Last mile fiber deployment is key to provide high broadband capacity
Broadband is the Future
What is Open Access ?
Objectives : Expedite Broadband rollout Promote choice for consumers Addressing Infrastructure Bootlenecks
The possibility for third parties to use an existing network infrastructure Ensuring access on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms
OPEN ACCESS Models :
Technical Options ( infrastructure sharing, ducts, fiber, …etc )
Government/Private Partnership ( Australia, Qatar, Oman, Malaysia, Singapore )NBNs Fibre Deployment ( Core to Customer access Networks )
Improve investment incentives for network operators ( Europe )
Hybrid Gov. Funding (Low Interest, Long Term ) and Private Funding ( Africa )
Open Access arrangement ( exchange of local traffic ) Countries with IPX : 116 ( e.g Tunis “2”, Egypt “2”, “1” for UAE, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon ) Countries without IPX : 87
Internet Exchange Points (IXP)

Open Access ( Fixed Networks ): Access to Local loop Wholesale services ( e.g bitstream ) Dark fibre Access to Ducts Access to in-building wiring
Open Access ( Mobile Networks ): Mobile Virtual Network Operator
Fixed and Mobile Open Access
Network Layer Wholesale Service Provided
0 - Passive Conduit, Collocation facilities, access to ducts
1 ( Physical unbundling ) Local loop unbundling, dark fibre leasing, optical layer unbundling
2 ( Data link unbundling ) Layer 2bitstream access ( e.g Ethernet, ATM ), dark fibre and link-layer electronics at each end
3 ( Network unbundling ) Basic network services, layer 3 bitstream ( e.g IP bitstream )

Market in EU relays on wholesale products One network deployment a Wholesale/Open access obligation are crucial
Networks Access and Sharing : Core and Access
Gigabit Passive Optical Network “GPON”, Point to Multipoint Distribution MechanismShared downstream capacity ( 2.488 Gbps ), upstream capacity (1.244 Gbps )
Distribution Network depend on civil works ( e.g Ducts, manholes, cabinets, telecommunications rooms ..etc )
Lack of access a potential barrier preventing broadband deployment
Regulatory focus : Promoting infrastructure Infrastructure cost sharing Avoid Exclusive Agreements ( Operators and Owners/Developers )
The Korean Model : The Building Certification Programme (BCP) Each apartment connected to 4 fibre optic cables If building is compliant its given an award/certificate Introduced in 1999, BCP is de facto for in-building wiring
In-Building Infrastructure/Wiring Regulations
Regulatory Issues/Disputes
New Entrants Rollout : Efficient, easy, a quick Right of Way ( ROA ) Access and Sharing Regime
Access/Sharing to Ducts and Associated Civil Infrastructure “Technical Standards for Fixed Infrastructure Rollout”
Access/Sharing of Telecom Infrastructure in Mega Projects and Developments Exclusive Agreements Access Obligations In-Building wiring enforcement ( Building permit process )
Lack of Clear Rules and Responsibilities Road Opening and Right of Way Obligation of Real Estate owners/developers Building Permit process
New Business Models
Way Forward
Technical Standards for Access and Sharing of Passive Infrastructure
Ability to get access to Ducts Networks ( Private/Government )
Infrastructure Ready ( in-building wiring, Ducts infrastructure )
