High-speed networks and services statistics. Preamble

High-speed networks and services statistics Preamble

1. Whereas:

a) since the end of 2007 the Government has taken on the development of next generation networks (NGN) as a policy priority and has launched a series of legal, regulatory and financial measures in order to promote the development of such networks, and has established a set of objective with respect to their development1;

b) in 2009 - and according to information compiled from time to time about this phenomenon - significant growth has been seen in these networks;

c) these networks will tend to become platforms in the context of which operators and users will interact, whereby it is incumbent on the regulator, as part of its statutory functions, inter alia, to guarantee that communications operators have access to networks, in conditions of transparency and equality, foster competition and development in communications markets, namely in the context of the convergence of communications, co-ordinate with the appropriate entity application of the law on competition in the communications sector;

d) new regulatory demands which, in this context, have appeared internationally, including at European Commission and CoCom level, and to which ICP-ANACOM must respond,

(2)

have made it necessary to begin collecting statistical indicators on a regular basis in relation to high-speed networks and services, in order to be able to accomplish the responsibilities of ICP-ANACOM, follow the deployment, extent of development and use of these networks and services and satisfy the demands that, both nationally and internationally, and within the scope of its responsibilities are made of ICP-ANACOM. 2. In this context, a new set of statistical data has been formulated, which is

provided in annex.

In general, the intention is to collect indicators on cabled households and buildings, with data broken down by network configuration and by municipality, and data on clients broken down by market segment and municipality.

More specifically:

a) The indicators relating to cabled households and non-residential or mixed buildings allow determination of the level of development attained by such networks and the extent to which certain of the objectives set by the government in this area are being achieved;

b) The identification of the number of households/buildings cabled in partnership avoids duplicated accounting of the installed network;

c) The breakdown by network configuration is required because the various possible network configurations allow the potential provision of services with different characteristics, particularly in terms of transmission speed and its symmetry/asymmetry. For example, an offer based on FTTN + VDSL2+ will not potentially have the same characteristics and development as offers supported using HFC + EuroDOCSIS 3.0. Since these realities are not wholly comparable, any attempt a priori at breaking down the data might lead to a loss of information which is essential to achieving an understanding of how

(3)

these networks are developing and to conducting an analysis these markets.2;

The network configurations indicated result from the questionnaire of CoCom - mentioned above - with the necessary adaptations to the Portuguese reality resulting from national regulations on the construction and installation of communications infrastructures in buildings and the reality of networks presently existing in Portugal;

d) The breakdown of information requested by Municipality will make it possible to monitor the deployment of these networks in Portugal over time, with a view to detecting potential market failures.

It is recalled in this connection that these networks are considered of strategic importance to promoting social and territorial cohesion and that it was concluded that allowing the market to function freely would not guarantee the establishment of these networks in all municipalities in the country;

e) Data on customers will enable verification of the intensity of network usage and assessment of the ease of access to the products supported on them;

f) A breakdown by market segment stems from the assertion that, at the level of access, the type of solutions and offer aimed at residential and non-residential customers have different characteristics, making it necessary to analyse the evolution of the segments separately and subsequently consider the possible existence of substitutability.

3. Operators/providers shall be required to send this information on a regular basis as from 3rd quarter 2010 (inclusive).

In cases where the information is not immediately available, operators / service providers are required to:

 submit estimates of the values in question, indicating the assumptions that were used for the calculation thereof;

 send the definitive information no later than the quarter following the closure of the company's accounts for the year to which the statistics refer.

After this date, the information given for the year in question shall be considered final. Any inaccuracies detected or reported after that date may be considered as a failure to comply with the obligations to submit information in accordance with current legislation.

4. Data collected in this respect may be published in aggregate form by ICP-ANACOM.

5. Under article 108 of Law No 5/2004 of 10 February and point f) of paragraph 1 of article 109 of the same law, the set of indicators in Annex shall be sent to ICP-ANACOM by operators of fixed networks and providers of the high-speed service no later than the thirtieth day following the end of each quarter using the Extranet and/or by e-mail to

[email protected] and/or on paper to:

ICP-ANACOM

Notes

Concept Description

1

2 FTTN / C + VDSL Fibre to the Node / Cabinet + Very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line. In version VDSL2+, this standard allows the provision of high-speed services over copper pair access networks.

3 HFC Hybrid Fibre-Coaxial networks. Regardless of the configuration of the FTTx network, access to the final customer is accomplished via coaxial cable. These networks allow the provision of high-speed services provided the EuroDOCSIS 3.0 (or equivalent) standard is installed.

4 No. of cabled non-residential or mixed buildings

Buildings which are primarily non-residential, including office, commercial, industrial, historical and educational buildings, hospital, hotels, railway stations, etc… 5 Customers of services supported

using high-speed networks

No. of customers covered, at least, by a contractual relationship in force, particularly as subscribers to a telecommunications service or a package of services (e.g. double play, triple play and multiple play), supported over high-speed fixed networks in each municipality as at the end of the respective quarter. The address of the installation must be considered and not the billing address or head office.

6 Residential Customers Residential customers shall be considered as any user who mostly does not use the service in question as intermediate consumption of economic activity. As a proxy, the classification resulting from the "NIF -

Número de informação fiscal" (Tax Information Number) should be used (customers without NIF or with NIFs starting with 1 and 2 are non-business customers). Other equivalent criteria may be used, which should, in these cases, be explained.

7 Non-Residential Customers Non-residential customers shall be considered as any user who uses the service concerned mainly as intermediate consumption of economic activity. As a proxy, the classification resulting from the "NIF -

Número de informação fiscal" (Tax Information Number) should be used (customers with NIF not starting with 1 and 2 are business customers). Other equivalent criteria may be used, which should, in these cases, be explained.

8 High-speed Notwithstanding any definition of the market effected under the rules of the current regulatory framework for electronic communications, high-speed should be considered as transmission with a theoretical minimum of reference speed for the end user, downstream, of 30 Mbps. - See limit mentioned in the COCOM questionnaire "CoCom Broadband Market Data Exercise”.

Fibre to the Home / Building. Households or non-residential or mixed buildings properly prepared to receive electronic communications services using optical fibre in the municipality indicated (Unit: one household / 1 non-residential building).

Households should be considered where properly prepared to receive electronic communications services using optical fibre, households included in buildings with the following characteristics which are connected to the electronic communications network operator in question through a properly sized optical fibre cable that terminates, at least, in the following physical locations:

- Households in buildings covered by the ITED Manual, 2nd Edition:

• Buildings sited on the public highway: the optical fibre terminates, at least, in the multi-operator manhole (CVM) installed in the building's entrance. In the case of detached houses, the optical fibre cable terminates in the entry box of the detached residence (CEMU).

•In the case of telecommunications infrastructure in private housing developments, urban settlements and concentrations of buildings (ITUR): the optical fibre terminates, at least in the telecommunications cabinet of the development (ATU).

- Households included in buildings covered by the ITED Manual, 1st edition:

• The fibre optical fibre terminates, at least in the operators' manhole or in the cable entry box or in the Building's Telecommunications Cabinet (ATE). In the case of detached houses, the optical fibre cable terminates in the entry box of the detached residence (CEMU).

- Households covered by RITA

• The optical fibre cable terminates, at least, in the manhole or in the cable entrance . - Households included in pre-RITA buildings

• In buildings where there is no collective telecommunications infrastructure, the optical fibre ends, at least in building's Telecommunications cabinet (ATE) to be installed preferably near the entrance of the building, or equivalent.

For the definition of the terms used here, reference is made to definitions and explanations contained in the ITED Manual 2nd Edition, ITUR Manual, ITED Manual 1st Edition, RITA Specifications, Requirements and Technical Instructions.

In the case of non-residential or mixed buildings, the optical fibre cable should arrive, at least, up to the cabling network of the building. FTTH / B

9 Households and non-residential or mixed buildings cabled in

partnership with another operator

Of the households considered on the previous sheet (Table 1. High-speed fixed networks), the intention is to find out the number of households and non-residential buildings or mixed buildings served by infrastructure shared with another or other operators.

THIS TABLE SHOULD INCLUDE HOUSEHOLDS / BUILDINGS ALREADY REPORTED IN TABLE 1. High-speed fixed networks 10 Operators with which

infrastructure is shared

Name(s) of the operator(s) and the respective number of households/buildings with shared cabling.
