"Tariff engineering matters more than software engineering, but only for now."
Analysys Mason’s Wholesale FTTx tariff tracker is an annual survey of fixed access wholesale pricing trends. This article is one of a series that examines the trends relating to changes in wholesale FTTP tariffs that we have identified from the survey.
This article looks at the emergence of software-defined networking (SDN)-based wholesale FTTP access services. It argues that the software-engineered approach may start to fulfil a market need once FTTP networks fill.
