Blog of the company at Verizon, Verizon FiOS recently released the latest data, as of the end of March, Verizon's FiOS network has covered 680 million homes and businesses in 16 states had more than 417 million feet laying fiber. In all regions , currently has 864,000 FiOS Internet customers, and 348,000 FiOSTV users.
FTTH in China is still only a state of thunder does not rain, look at overseas markets should be subject to reference and help, in North America, Verizon is a good example, from Verizon's data, its deployed according to plan, explain it in firmly implementing and promoting its FiOS fiber to the home project strategy. China Telecom and China Netcom also has been concerned about the FTTH projects, particularly their use of technology and business delivery model. So, in addition to Asia Pacific markets outside Japan, South Korea, the North American market, the rapid advance of fiber to the home network is able to give some confidence in the domestic carriers, thereby promoting the development of FTTH in China it? specific view, I'm afraid not, this latest data released by the Verizon proceeding, integrated other information to a simple analysis:
from published data, the present, for Verizon, its FiOS market penetration is more low, Internet business is about 13%, television business is 5%. in the promotion of early, so that penetration is OK, but if you do not quickly improve, cost recovery will take a long time, for high input fiber to the home This is particularly true project. Verizon expects that by 2010, its market penetration to reach 50%, but the situation may not be so optimistic, an important reason is that home networking market, accounting for about 70% share of radio and television operators will fight back immediately; China's fixed-line operators, the possibility of using Verizon foot of this model, we have not see a long-term planning, this one; Second, in seemingly competitive, but in reality the monopoly fixed-line market in China , whether it is telecommunications or China Netcom, probably will not consider a large investment in network construction, and gradually increase the number of users of way for construction.
benefit from a cost point of view, fiber to the home of the high cost of network construction. Verizon on FiOS on to put over 20 billion U.S. dollars, cost thousands of dollars per household or more. However, Verizon in order to promote FTTH, has adopted a low-rate policy, is currently in its launch of the package among the exclusive downstream 5M / 2M uplink at a cost of $ 39.99, exclusive downstream 15M / uplink 2M, cost $ 49.99. and we do not guarantee the current down to about 1 trillion is 20 dollars. This is mainly because Verizon to adopt flexible policies to operators from the Radio and Television grab the hands of customers. Back to the China telecommunications market, to take fiber to the home if the low-rate policy, only time will stretch back into the other, also with optical access to a hands xDSL copper access each Bo, the current cases unrealistic, what time can it? that Netcom and Telecom full competition when the attack when the other market conditions and strategic nature is not the same.
FiOS uses GPON technology to provide users with data, voice and video services, video services is the North American radio and television operators and grab users, the vast majority of 348,000 TV customers to cancel service in favor of the original broadcast it, of course, FiOSTV the quality and number of channels can also comparable to traditional television. If can not offer TV services, I do not think Verizon will quickly advance fiber to the home. in the Chinese telecommunications market, Telecom and China Netcom can operate even if the IPTV, however, IPTV can not replace traditional TV, in a short time will not be a universal service, Therefore, Telecom and China Netcom's determination to promote the fiber to the home will be greatly reduced.
Thus, Verizon's approach to China's fixed-line operators, the current is unlikely to learn. The reason is that environmental factors, which is higher level issues, in order to promote faster development of China Telecom has also, perhaps we should first learn from the policy environment and competitive environment.
