The role of small and medium CATV operators in providing e-services in the Czech Republic
Kuchar, Anton
As the demand for broadband e-services is increasing, there is a good chance for the cable TV operators to successfully compete with the traditional telecommunication operators in providing the services taking advantage of their broadband infrastructure. The paper reviews the Czech telecommunications arena focusing on the role of CATV operators and service providers in general and of the small and medium ones in particular.

Optics and its competitors in access networks
Kuchar, Anton
Various technology options of telecommunications access networks are discussed: metallic, optical fibre and wireless. They are compared according to their achievable technical parameters, capital (CAPEX) and operational expenses (OPEX), legislative constraints and prospects for further development. Market share of the major access technologies in Japan, Norway, Ireland and the Czech Republic are given

Fiberisation of access networks - update
Kuchar, Anton ; Hrstka, J.
Up-to-date information on the progress in implementation of optical access networks abroad and in the Czech Republic is given. Special attention is given to the situation in Europe, progress in this area in France, where mass implementation of optical fibres in access network has already begun, a is described in detail. A list of companies providing access to broadband networks over optical fibre links in the CR is given and the main obstacles to accelerate this process are identified.

FTTx networks in the year 2008 – worldwide developments
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.

Drivers and inhibitors of fibre optics advancement into access networks at home and abroad
Kuchar, Anton ; Hrstka, J.
Inspite of the fact that FTTx networks are the most future-proof solution for the access networks, they are mature and there is sufficient supply of equipment on the market, the pace of their implementation in various countries and regions vastly differs. In the contribution, the up-to-date situation concerning implementation and utilization of optical fibre access networks is presented and drivers and inhibitors of fibre optics advancement into access networks are identified.
