Broadband Deployment in Mexico: Possible Effects of Local Loop Unbundling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mexico is one of the few OECD countries where local loop unbundling has not been regulated. Local loop unbundling (LLU) was one policy promoted during the 1990’s by several administrations in order to foster competition in the local loop. However, after observing the consequences of local loop unbundling in several countries, it is still not clear whether this policy could be beneficial or not. In this paper we discuss possible consequences of unbundling the local loop in Mexico.

Local Loop Unbundling in Europe
Introduction Unbundling in Europe is still in the early stages and is often seen as a purely economical and legal matter, but it has a large impact on both the deployment rules and the engineering of broadband systems. The focus of the unbundling process in Europe is turning toward broadband access. Here, xDSL services over the unbundled local loop is a central theme [1]. With broadband transmi...
متن کاملA Cross-Country Analysis of Fixed Broadband Deployment: Examination of Adoption Factors and Network Effect*
Broadband infrastructure is a key component of the knowledge economy. Employing a secondary data set, this study examines adoption factors of fixed broadband among OECD countries. The result of the regression analysis suggests platform competition, income, and education positively influence fixed broadband diffusion. Light form of Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) was positively associated with high ...
متن کاملAn empirical analysis of fixed and mobile broadband diffusion
Broadband communications lie at the heart of the developing information society. Employing a logistic diffusion model, we analyze the factors that influence the diffusion of fixed and mobile broadband. For fixed broadband diffusion, we find that local loop unbundling, income, population density, education, and price are significant factors of fixed broadband diffusion. For mobile broadband, mul...

متن کاملFiber to the Home: Considerations Associated with a Successful Deployment
To realize the Nigerian Government’s goal to deliver 80% mobile broadband penetration by 2018, and become one of the top twenty economies in the world by the year 2020, Fiber to the Home (FTTH) technology along with other broadband access technologies is an essential driving factor for providing broadband access. Currently most telecom operators are reluctant to deploy FTTH in the access networ...
