The roll-out of high-speed broadband networks requires substantial investments. Civil engineering works, such as the digging-up of roads to lay down high-speed broadband, account for up to 80% of the cost of deploying high-speed networks. Limiting these works or reducing their cost would make broadband roll-out more cost-effective.
The free online course “Reducing the cost for broadband deployment” provides a comprehendible insight into the main challenges and recommendations for reducing the costs of broadband deployment. You will go through main challenges, guiding measures and benefits.
