The key for any successful broadband deployment is the cost of the service. Research shows that customers are willing to embrace new technologies that they may afford. 14 IPDSLAM – Brasil Telecom Key points: - Late deployment - Very aggressive pricing strategy - Available plans: Turbo Lite – 50 Hours of access for $ 9.95 monthly @ 150Kbps Unlimited Usage @ 400Kbps for $ 31.95 - Expected subscriber base: more than 1 million subscribers in less than a year of operation. 15 GE-PON – Passive Optical Network Where no copper exists, operators may decide to go directly with GE-PON for their last mile 16 GE-PON – Triple Play Services Where GE-PON networks are deployed the operator can fully explore that market’s potential by offering triple play services: Telephony, TVoIP, Broadband, VoIP, VOD, Gaming, and many more to come… SUBSCRIBER SoftSwitch Call Control & Signaling DSL CPE SIP/MGCP PON ONU OLT GE PON VOICE, DATA & VIDEO PSTN SUBSCRIBER DSL CPE IP CORE PSTN/PLMN GATEWAY PON ONU VOICE, DATA & VIDEO TMG Internet 17 Yahoo BB! – Triple play utilizing UTStarcom Infrastructure Total = $90.31/monthly ARPU Yahoo!
