BT Group plc - formerly known as British Telecommunications - has made an ambitious and difficult task: To provide high-speed broadband over fiber-optic backbone to nearly half the British population. Claim ancient brass choir of the Internet explosion of video and other high density transmission has actually forced BT to double and redouble their initial plan to provide fiber optics up to 1 million homes in 10 million homes for Fiber To The Building (FTTP) access in 2012. This is equivalent to approximately 40% of the population.
Fiber Optic Competition
Virgin Media is laying concurrently based on their own cable system, which is a hybrid solution is more than the end-to-end fiber. Virgin Media can provide 20 megabits per second (20Mbps) is 4-10 times faster than satellite or Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) broadband speed. Fiber will be able to provide 100Mbps broadband speed. BT fiber optics not only real-time TV, open the door video on demand - with the possibility of hundreds of films and programs immediately available - and broadcasting live events as they occur.
Fiber Optic compete with Sky + HD
Sky Financial are some concerns about the fiber optics revolution. Until now, the only way to broadcast some high definition channels through a Sky + HD satellite service, where there is sa £ 10 per month add-on. Other broadcast technologies, such as the antenna, cable, and only in the broadband network bandwidth don t have the capacity to carry more than a few HD programs simultaneously. Fiber optics seen as the only real alternative to satellite and HD programs really competitior Sky + HD. Bandwidth will allow for comparison of additional HD services.
Rapid political implications Fiber Optic
If for any major changes in infrastructure, there is politics involved about how to pay for £ 1.5 billion to BT network. Management of BT's consumer confidence would be willing to pay a £ 5 premium for high-speed access without the need for additional tax, however, nearly 30% of the needs of rural broadband subsidy to cover the costs. Be no doubt that the fight in the near future.
Mixture to reduce the cost
FTTP In addition, there are other hybrid solutions in the implementation for BT: Fiber To The Government'y (FTTC). This is the only fiber running in the box or cabinet side of the road, and then run a cable from the closet and place. This will provide at least 20Mbps and buildings, which is more than enough for a family or small office applications at home.
Future of Fiber Optics
Kung'looks very bright in the future, because the fiber is not only to accommodate Internet traffic, can carry HDTV, and Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) to improve Internet-based telephony.
Britain is poised on the most-wired with high speed broadband connection regions of the world, rivalling colonial service running. Chance to get out and get out of the package is in the hands of BT, Virgin Media and, in the Sky, although the last don t see what fiber optics can provide to their existing broadband and satellite TV offerings. Consumer demand is driving and needs only a matter of time before the truth of the internet and communication speed of light within the finger.
