Abstract
This article presents a techno-economic assessment of the evolution of the access network segment toward broadband data service delivery, including in-depth sensitivity analysis of key issues faced by the infrastructure providers. The line costs and payback periods of different access network technologies for infrastructure broadband upgrades are examined, subject to variation in parameters like the existing infrastructure, the broadband take rate, civil work costs, revenues, and rollout year. The work should enable establishment of guidelines for broadband infrastructure upgrade strategiesKeywords
