Next Generation Access Networks

Fiber To The Home


2/20

Target of the Project Fiber To The Home FTTH

Development of an open-access and technology neutral passive network

infrastructure based on optical fibers for broadband access to:

and 52 cities across Greek territory

2.000.000 homes and businesses,

in Athens , Thessaloniki


3/20

Broadband access in Greece

Penetration rate and number of broadband connections from the 1st July 2002 up to 1st January 2009

The last 4 years we have achieved to increase significantly the number of home broadband

connections.

More specific the broadband penetration is near 14%.


4/20

The digital convergence of Greece and W. Europe

countries

We have decrease the digital divide with the W. Europe.

The penetration rate in Greece is getting closer with other West European countries.


5/20

Demands from new introduced network services

The introduction of innovative network services, like Video on Demand (VoD) and High

Definition Digital Television (HDTV) brings forward the demand for higher throughput provisiom

from the access networks. Until now in Greece, we have no other fixed network access

technology for home broadband connections, except the copper - ADSL.

Social Acceptance

(*) Pulse RC (www.pulserc.gr) survey for the Ministry of Transport & Communications, conducted

by telephone between 27/8/2008 and 29/8 /2008 with a sample of 2,120 persons in Attiki,Thessaloniki prefectures and in the municipalities of Patra, Heraklion and Larissa, using themethod of random sampling on people over the age of 18. (mean statistical deviation +/-5%)

About 90% of the participants answered that they believe this project is very important

Over the 80% of the sample, thinks that the state participation and funding is necessary in

such big and important project

8 to 10 participants answers that they would like to see the project starting immediately

About the 9 to 10 participants answers that they would not be bothered from the works at

their neighborhood.

Open Access network model

Development of a passive technologyneutral optical fiber network for the coverage of the

increased network requirements from the new interactive services via low cost and symmetric

broadband connections with throughput bigger than 100 Mbps per user - connection. (Until

now the asymmetric DSL could offered in theoretical base throughput up to 24 Mbps fordownload and 1 Mbps for upload.)

Creation of the Special Management Body of the National Optical Fiber Infrastructure

(EFODIA), that will construct, maintain and provide the dark fiber to all network and electronic

services providers.

The EFODIA will not offer any telecommunication & electronic services to the end user.


9/20

Budget analysis of the Project

The indicative budget of the project is 2,1 bill.

The project will be co-funded by state and private investment under the scheme of Public

Private Investments Partnership ().

700 mill. Greek state 1,4 bill. Private Investments

Funding model will follow the law terms of competition in European Union

Up to 3 Special Purpose Companies will be established. The duration of the partnership will

be 30 years.

Every service & network provider will pay a fee for the optical fiber usage to the EFODIA

(home connected).

The state will pay availability dividends of 350 per home for the fiber availability (home

passed).


10/20

Splitting the Greek territory in 3 Zones

he Hellenic Ministry of Transport & Communications () carried out a

study for splitting the Greek territory in 3 zones

This study was based on demographic and geographic data

This methodology will allow the establishment of3 parallel works in order

to achieve a faster network roll out (home passed) and guarantee the

completion of the project in the first 7 years.

This model will reduce the digital divide between urban and rural areas,inside the equivalence of the 3 zones.


11/20

Indicative Splitting in 3 Zones

1. The Attica municipalities have

been divided in 3 groups, each

belonging to one of the 3

zones,

2. the Thessaloniki municipalitiesall belong to one of the zones

3. and the rest 52 municipalities

from the other areas of Greece

are split to each one of the 3

zones

Synopsis of the Project

Passive network infrastructure (dark fiber)

Architecture for open access and technology neutrality.

The passive network provider will not provide and services to the end user.

2 million connections in the first 7 years.

Completion of the project with 1/3 of the whole budget within state

funding.

The time life of the partnership will be 30 years. At the end of this period

the network will come to Greek state.

Draft Law

Fiber To The Home


16/20

Basic Axes of the Draft Law

The draft law will be the tool that is going to ensure the quick completion of

the work and sets clearly the terms of competition according to the

European Law.

Also it provides some benefits in order to attract the investors.

The 3 basic axes of the draft law are:

1. The provision of the rights for the way-roots of the optical fiber

infrastructure installation

2. The facilitation for the co-allocation of the optical fiber installation with

already existing network infrastructures

3. The assurance of the open access architecture and neutral technology

network

Benefits from the Project

Fiber To The Home


18/20

The benefits of the Project

Bridge of the digital divide between urban and rural areas

Ensures the equivalence of opportunities of Greek citizens across broadband access.

End user access throughput will be increased significant

Low cost fees to the end user for broadband network access

The new network infrastructure will guarantee the QoS

Creation of new opportunities for small business

Drop of idleness through the generation of new work positions

Increase of productivity with parallel drop of the costs

Improvement on the quality of life

The Draft Law was under public consultation

until 7 of September 2009
