eNorway - The vision

”An impatient eMinister promises that all Norwegians will get broadband access by 2002”

eNorway 1.0, Oslo (29.06.2000)

eNorway - The revisedLaissez-faire version

”There shall be a market for broadband in all parts of the country - at least in 2007”

eNorway 5.0, Oslo (14.05.2002)

Grete Knutsen, eMinister from the Labour party

Ansgar Gabrielsen, minister from the

Conservative party

eNorway - The challenge

The market outside the few large cities are not big enough to give adequate return on investmentNorway is scarcely populated in the rural areasThe fibre infrastructure does not cover the entire country and is mainly a backbone networkThe radio-relay infrastructure is based on POTS and has low capacityCurrent telecom equipment is based on PDH, SDH and ATM - not IP

8

Wireless of course !

Find a fibre or twoMake a local and redundant radio relay backboneDesign the back-bone so that it can be used either as

a base for Point-to-MultiPoint in 3.5 GHzor as a starting point for feeding telephone exchangesor local fibre

BroadbandRadio access

22

Evaluation of alternativesRadio access gives higher capacity to the end users and gives better coverage than using the copperlines. Radio access will provide a redundant network with fewer nodepoints Copper access has inexpensive end-user equipment, but the operator must pay a yearly fee of 200 Euro to Telenor who owns the linesRadio access gives better possibilities for inter-municipal communication

23

Nice broadband networks already implemented in Italy, Spain, Morocco, Mozambique, Jamaica and more
