T-Mobile asks The Hague to stop construction of KPN fiber optic network – IT Pro – News

Well ….. and it could have been so easy huh:

One independent ‘utility’ party that puts cables in the ground and terminates neatly in Area PoPs. Preferably “Point to Point” (so 1 connection in the meter cupboard in the home = 1 connection in the Area PoP).

Parties can then place their own equipment and ‘patch’ it on the consumer’s connection (ODF access).

That would be a win-win situation for EVERY party, including telecom providers, internet providers, ‘cable companies’, but also the consumer. If necessary, Ziggo can still do everything with DVB-C and DOCSIS over such a network (so that their ‘control plane’ remains the same as on their HFC networks).

Just as Reggefiber used to provide cities with glass, it works exactly like this. As a result, there are already 4 parties in Almere that can put light on the fibers independently of each other (where Jonaz even does GPON, whereby the passive splicing then of course takes place in the Area-PoP instead of closer to the house connections).

So now you are moving to a situation in which either consumers receive multiple fiber optic connections in the meter cupboard in addition to a coax connection (and the streets have to be opened several times, chaos in the ground). Or only 2 parties have infrastructure in the ground over which high speeds are possible, and they can charge the main price towards consumers, or smaller ISPs that have to purchase broadband access via Wholesale ……
