Kuchar, Anton
The presentation gives an overview of the worldwide progress and trends in the development of optical access networks FTTx. Special attention is paid to situation in Europe. Competitive technologies for broadband access to the Internet are also considered. The presentation observes that while in Japan, Korea and recently also in the USA the FTTx access networks have become a massive phenomenon, in Europe FTTx are being so far built mainly by municipalities and utilities with the exception of France.
