- 1. WHO ARE THE ECHO BOOMERS? Echo Boomers are the generation born between the early 1980s and the mid 1990s. They are the children of the baby boomer generation of the 1950s and 1960s. There are over 250 million of them and the oldest are now moving into adulthood to become the first true digital citizens. They are also known as: ‘Generation Y’, ‘Bridgers’ or ‘Millennials’. Most have grown up in a world where they’ve never ridden in a car without a seat-belt, spent a day at the beach without sun cream or left home without a mobile phone.

- 14. 3play and 4play defined Triple play (telecommunications) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In telecommunications, the Triple Play service is a marketing term for the provisioning of the three services: high-speed Internet, television ( Video on Demand or regular broadcasts) and telephone service over a single broadband connection. Triple Play has led to the term "Quadruple play" (or 4play) where wireless communications is introduced as another medium to deliver video, Internet and voice content. The grouping together of services (as triple or quadruple play) is called multi-play.

- 15. Multi-play bandwidth needs HDTV in multi-play need for deep fibre SDTV Stream 1 = 4Mbps PVR Stream = 4Mbps Premium HDTV Stream = 12Mbps SDTV Stream 2 = 4Mbps High Speed Data and VOIP = 5Mbps AoD/VoD Stream = 4Mbps Gaming Stream = 4Mbps
- 17. Fibre costs in for greenfield deployments FTTP Per Home Capital Costs Parity with Cost of Deploying New Copper Source: In-Stat/MDR Fiber Copper
- 18. Triple play summary > 3play is as old as cable modems > 1st generation 3play with IPTV over ADSL2+ only delivers SDTV > Satellite, cable and competitive operators are offering a growing menu of HDTV plus instant Internet > To compete, incumbent operators need deep fibre, ie FTTP or FTTC
- 20. Mobile Broadband >4play is more than just adding mobile voice to 3play >Mobile broadband is being realised through 3G HSPA >Data traffic grows rapidly large bandwidth upgrades >Revenue growth is slower >Operators must decouple bandwidth from cost…

- 22. Mobile Operator Revenues Backhaul Costs (traditional approach) Margin Squeeze Mobile Margin Trends? Cost-effective backhaul OR margin squeeze? Time Money
- 23. Mobile Network Evolution > Wireline broadband as a precedent > Minimise backhaul opex > Reduce leased line bandwidth for 3G data with statistical gain > Substitute Metro Ethernet & DSL for expensive TDM leased lines > Deploy Ethernet Microwave with adaptive modulation > Converge with wireline broadband infrastructure where possible > Anticipate new standards and services
- 25. Summary Consumers demand services that are instant, intelligent, and indispensable Converged services require deep fibre for high quality triple play, plus bandwidth scaling for mobile broadband
Editor's Notes
- #24: Many executive are reporting 15%-25% annual increase in backhaul costs while revenues are flat or increasing in single figure percentage points (Heavy Reading’s Backhaul Strategies For Mobile Operators, March 2006)
