【摘要或目录】：Telecommunications service providers are facing a major
paradigm shift in both the services they provide and infrastructure
they use. Some of the main driving forces in the broadband access
market are:
• Broadband Everywhere:
While the initial rollout of broadband access technologies
such as DSL and Cable mainly targeted densely populated
urban areas, the importance of broadband connectivity
means it is quickly becoming as a basic communication
need for business, education and home users. Thus
service providers are under increasingly pressure to
provide “Broadband Everywhere”, including areas where
technologies such as DSL and Cable are not economically
viable.
• Demand for lower costs:
A combination of a single service offering (high speed
internet access) and relatively high access costs
(especially in the backhaul connection) means that most
operators are not yet generating significant revenue from
their existing broadband offering. Yet operators must lower
prices if they want to increase broadband penetration and
thus more cost efficient solutions are required.
• Increasingly complex home networks:
The existing broadband service offering (high speed
internet access) envisages a single PC connected to the
broadband connection. However the emerging trend is for
multiple devices such as two or more PCs, a games
console and a TV set top box, to all access the broadband
connection, placing greater demands on the broadband
network.
• New broadband applications:
As broadband penetration increases and the market grows,
so too do the applications to meet the demand of
increasingly tech-savvy users. Both young and professional
early adopters are driving the demand for delivery of
advanced applications such as remote working, home
health, games on demand, gambling, etc. via the
broadband network.
