Abstract
The chapter presents risk and techno-economic analyses of broadband access network upgrade strategies for public network operators and cable operators in the competitive residential and small business market. The effect of uncertainties in predictions of critical parameters such as demand forecasts and market shares are analysed. The assessed technology options include broadband twisted pair modems, hybrid fibre coax (HFC) networks and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) based passive optical networks (PONs)1.
