[Here is a good example of how the concept of open condominium fiber
infrastructure, pioneered by the R&E network community enables =
deployment of
lower cost broadband deployment, facilities based competition and new
business models for helping reduce GHG emissions. As I pointed out in a
previous post forward thinking carriers like Swiscom and KPN understand =
the
business value of open condo fiber muni networks and the potential for
radical new business models such as free fiber
(http://free-fiber-to-the-home.blogspot.com/) to the home and homes with
tails. See also talks by Benoit Felten on this subject. Thanks to =

Last Wednesday, Swisscom has announced its first cooperation that will
enable joint roll out of multi-fiber FTTH.
The canton of Fribourg, Groupe E, the Swiss French electricity producer =
and
supplier, and Swisscom are to work hand in hand on the construction of a
fibre-optic (FTTH) access network. The partnership aims to reduce costs =
for
both companies and to offer every interested service provider the
opportunity to use the infrastructure, therefore avoiding duplicate
investments. It consists of setting up a single multi-fibre access =
network
within an existing underground infrastructure and will allow a healthy =
level
of competition in the area of networks and telecommunications services.
Groupe E and its energy provider partners will develop energy-related
services with the aim of achieving energy efficiency. The canton of =
Fribourg
is clearly following its =84High Tech in the Green" strategy by =
supporting
this project which will make the canton more attractive in both urban =
and
rural areas. This is the first collaboration between an electricity =
company,
an operator and a canton in Switzerland.
Please find attached the press release=20
as well the link to it.
