2. Dear FTTx and NGA Expert,
FTTx Summit Europe is the must attend industry event that brings together a senior level
delegation of operators, to discover the answer to the most pressing question you are all currently
facing: What is the business case for FTTx?
Come and hear how Swisscom and Openreach justified the business case behind their fibre
deployments and see how TeliaSonera and OTE built the business case for rolling out high-
speed broadband to rural areas.
Take this opportunity to learn from the experiences and advice of 24 operators, regulators and
communities who have been involved in the practical deployments of fibre networks. Hear them
detailing the technological and regulatory challenges facing fibre deployment, including:
• Hear France Telecom outline the next steps in PON technological evolution
• Learn from Cornwall County Council and Fiber Optic Valley how to extend the reach of
your NGA networks by hearing from the people currently leading the two hottest NGA projects
in Europe
• Hear Fastweb and BT evaluate the benefits and pitfalls of different NGA technologies
• See how Deutsche Telekom identified and managed the strategic and cost implications of
having to open up their access network to other operators
• Learn directly from the European Commission and the EuroISPA how fibre regulation is
developing across Europe
With a programme led by such advanced and current case studies, benefit from the knowledge
gained and lessons learnt by your peers and competitors to further the success of your fibre
deployment and ensure the best ROI from your chosen NGA technology.
Plus! Take advantage of 2 highly targeted workshop days. On Monday 11th April, you will
learn how to overcome the challenges of deploying new infrastructure whilst trying to minimise
investment cost. And on Thursday 14th April, you will have the opportunity to understand how
regulatory requirements surrounding FTTx deployment will impact the roll-out and reach of your
