FttH Developments in The Netherlands

It has been nearly 10 years since the start of the first FttH (Fibre to the Home) pilot projects in the Netherlands, up to the massive roll-out available now with approximately 250,000 homes connected every year. A lot of mistakes were made in the beginning, but FttH has become a mature business model over the last few years. This presentation highlights the practical issues when building a fibre network; the challenges and problems you could face and how the Dutch market developed some innovative concepts to solve these 'headaches'. To sum it up, a practice-oriented presentation shows the lessons learned after a decade of fibre deployment.
