3. But very deep.

4. What Are the Drivers for the Deployment of New Systems?
Financing
Traffic and Services
Opportunity
Timing
Competition
BUT rarely do new deployments occur because of
Technology.

5. Technology Is Not a Key Driver
So what is the role of new technology?
Technology IS:
An enabler
A factor in creating cheaper per unit cost
The foundation for reliability that enables quality of service
The path for responding to the variety of today’s demand.
Technology is a universal component

6. Technology Is Important, but It Is Available to All at All Times.

7. Political Influence Means
Public authorities serving the public interest.

8. Politics Historically

9. Three Political Influence Layers
License and Permits
Finance:
Customs:
Public Domain Management
Speed of implementation
Tax-free investments
Speed of implementation
Cable is protected and maintenance easier
SYSTEM
Regulator
Finance
Open access to the submarine cable station
Open main interconnection points
Accompany the evolution of tariffs
Low tax on telecom tools
TELECOM
Road and Port Infrastructure
Power:
Education:
Environment
Ability to develop new projects
Quality of service
Efficient Workforce
Protected marine corridors free of anchoring
GLOBAL

10. Finance
The required path
towards successful
development

11. Finance No vendor financing Normal Bank and Equity
For remote areas Development Banks Institutions
Purchase of distressed assets, or acquisition of existing networks
Fund raising

12. Traffic
The platform of
new services that
generate the revenues

13. Traffic Evolutions Rapid mobility of customer need
Evolution of the routes
Increase of applications and evolution in the volume required
Mobile
IP-based application
New services create new behaviors in newly served countries

14. The Incredible Growth of Mobile Communications
                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
As reported by 3G Americas
2.5 billion devices reached in mid-2006,
3 billion by end 2007?

15. 17 Billion Networkable Devices? 1 Trillion in Ten Years?
Sun Microsystems estimates that – including sensor and RFID networks – there could be a trillion communicating devices worldwide in a decade!

16. Traffic Pattern: The old discrete segmentation
Telecom: voice, fixed and mobile, data, internet
Broadcasters: radio, TV
Music industry
Movie industry
Print and publishing
Advertising
Gaming, gambling
Home entertainment
Production control, goods tracking
Services: banking, travel, auctions, sales of goods

17. New Traffic Pattern: Total Convergence
Application domains:
IP Telephony
Mobile IP
Voice, radio, TV over IP
Computing Grids
Massive multiplayer games
RFID, control and sensor networks
Industrial software applications

18. 3 Main Drivers
POLITICS
public interest by the
public authorities
FINANCE
enabling access
to funds
TRAFFIC
New services
The project is then energized by the vision, the timing and the expertise of the Leaders

19. Conclusion
Three established drivers - politics, traffic and finance - evolve with time
Politics and external factors impact the development of new systems.
Full industry support of the evolution needed to match the final demand.

20. THANK YOU
And, see you in the deep sea!
