About this episode

The episode discusses key findings from S&P Global’s surveys on the evolution of FTTH network deployments.

FTTH technology is clearly the “end game” solution for wireline broadband access services, however, the speed and scope of operator migration to full-fiber networks varies widely, depending on factors such as operator roadmaps and competitive landscape conditions. On the next episode of Fiber for Breakfast, Erik Keith, Principal Analyst for Broadband Infrastructure at S&P Global Market Intelligence, joins Gary Bolton, President & CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association, to discuss key findings from S&P’s most recent global surveys of telecom and cable operators. The conversation will examine key factors in the ongoing evolution towards more pervasive FTTH network deployments, including data points from both the telco and cable operator perspectives.
