Interesting interview



The Director of Strategy and Policy at urban fibre optic developer CityFibre, Mark Collins, has today revealed more to ISPreview.co.uk about their Joint Venture plans with Sky Broadband and TalkTalk to roll-out an "ultra-fast" 1000Mbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP/H) broadband network for UK homes in three cities, starting with York.

Oregano, who/what is the source of your article?

KCOM offer superfast broadband not ultrafast. The maximum upload speed marketed is 30Mbps. The upload speed seems an unappreciated element. It is, however, an important consideration in any serious data-intensive business. It can truly transform productivity by a significant magnitude. KCOM do not seem to have grasped this in their marketing. Although it might well be that the current demand is predominantly from businesses – and households - with relatively low-data upload need. Download and transmission capacity is a given component of FTTP while the upload capacity is the added competitive advantage in determining a Gigabit city.

A worthwhile example to follow is the development of Reggefiber in the Netherlands.

clearly demand for the product out there, looking at Kcoms FTTP sales.

One area where Kcom is arguably leading the way is in its next generation broadband strategy, running fibre to the premise (FTTP) in Hull versus BT and Virgin Media mainly relying on copper/siamese from the cabinet/street into the home. This is generating strong demand, with a current take up rate of 27% and at least a £5 per month increase in ARPU, and the company is on track to deliver the services to 45,000 premises (or 30% of the addressable market) by December 2015. As we reported on yesterday, Waoo is setting the pace for FTTP in Denmark, with customers receiving a 50-500Mbps symmetric, speed guaranteed service. While there are but a handful of companies in the UK providing FTTP (such as Gigaclear in a few villages, or CityFibre's JV with Sky), there is certainly the scope and demand to make an impact in the UK market.

coventry deal which seems imminent should be good news as they can get to work pronto selling to local businesses. also the high level of interest from peterbourgh businesses is very encouraging - no wonder the raise went well...

thanks - agree the jv with talk talk and sky is a slow burn and more likely to be a political move by them to keep bt honest. the reason i am in is due to the tie up witht the councils and sales to local businesses. for me that remains a likely winning formula. good luck investing the proceeds!

i have binned mine. it just felt like a slow burn. we have had some good news and the shares didn't make much progress. I wish you well edwardT

TalkTalk's FYMar14 presentation has just finished and the company clarified many points on its fibre plans for the UK following the FT article this morning suggesting that TalkTalk could roll out fibre to 10m UK homes. We feel the article read like TalkTalk/Sky had already made plans to rollout 10m homes across the UK but in reality TalkTalk outlined a much more measured fibre strategy in its presentation earlier today.

For clarification, TalkTalk stated that:
• To date all that has been announced is the intention to build fibre to cover 20,000 homes (in a JV with Sky) in York with a possible 2 or 3 cities to follow;
• The York build-out is a trial and future plans rely heavily on the outcome of the trial which will start in 2015;
• TalkTalk stated in its presentation that the JV requires 30-40% pre-signed homes in a city to justify building out FTTP in the future
• Any future CAPEX implications would be off-balance sheet – i.e. the JV is expected to be self-funding
• 10m is the number of households in UK Tier 2 cities (not the current planned rollout)
• We estimate CityFibre covers around 10 cities in the UK but plans to expand to other cities over time
• TalkTalk believes it can rollout fibre at a cost of £500/home

Credis Suisse comment
We think the plans for TalkTalk/Sky to build FTTP in York could make strategic sense and provide real infrastructure competition ot BT in this area. However, we need to keep this build out in perspective in terms of the wider plans of the JV. Much will depend on the outcome of the York trial over the next 18months and pricing clearly will be key – we believe that if TalkTalk's cost assumptions are correct then its pricing for FTTP could potentially be very attractive to the consumer.

That said, the scale of the initial build out suggests to us that, at least in the near-term, this should not disrupt the strong momentum in UK wireline (UK line growth, broadband growth, demand for high-speed broadband, pay TV penetration growth etc....).

sounds pretty bullish stuff to me - this little tiddler could get the wind in its sales.

TalkTalk noted that demand for fibre remains modest (being just 5% of its on-net customer base) except when it can deliver transformational improvements in broadband experience e.g. for customers whose copper speed is too low for them to take TV.

Nevertheless TalkTalk plans to expand on its recent fibre deployment plans in York with Sky and CityFibre, bringing ultrafast broadband to a further two cities with a national roll out a potential long term option.

CEO Dido Harding is quoted in today's FT as saying its fibre network could be extended to reach more than 10m homes in the UK which compares with BT's current 19m homes passed. We expect this to be a major focus of this morning's investor briefing.

agree oregano ...will not work overnight but the fact that over the lease agreements of up to 10 to 15 years the anchor clients (county councils) will pay up to 90% of costs of installing the fibre and will only take circa 5% of capacity utilisation of the fibre gives cityfibre a great basis to make a lot of money selling a relevant and disruptive product to local businesses. the additional optionality of agreements to sell on to households via jvs with sky could well be the cream on the cake! probably way too simplistic an assessment but if you ask my wife, i am a pretty simple bloke! any contradictory views?

Construction Begins On Gigabit Fibre Network For Peterborough
April 23, 2014
CityFibre commences build of the city-wide Peterborough CORE network

Wednesday 23rd April 2014 - Work has now begun on the construction of the Peterborough CORE, a pure fibre network designed and built by CityFibre to bring Gigabit internet speeds to Peterborough's business community.

This major infrastructure project is being undertaken in partnership with Peterborough City Council and its IT Services Provider Serco. The work is set to transform Peterborough into a Gigabit City over the next 12-14 months.

350 Peterborough businesses have already pre-registered to take advantage of the gigabit internet speeds that are 100 times faster than most business connections. At 1,000 megabits per second the new 'pure-fibre' infrastructure matches that of cities like Stockholm.

Construction work has now started in Peterborough city centre and will quickly progress across the city with the first services available to businesses by July this year. CityFibre and its construction partner North Midland Construction are working closely with Peterborough City Council Highways Authority to ensure minimum disruption to local businesses and homes during the installation of almost 90km of fibre optic cable route.

CityFibre's City Development Manager for Peterborough Andy Starnes explains, "When broadband replaced dial-up, it revolutionised global internet usage. Now the old broadband is in need of an upgrade itself. Pure-fibre networks like the Peterborough CORE are modern digital infrastructures delivering accessible and affordable Gigabit speed services. They are a future-proofed technology capable of supporting businesses' current and future demands. We urge businesses to register their interest on the Peterborough CORE website, to take advantage of this opportunity to increase their productivity and profitability."

The precise network route is demand-led and there is still time for businesses to register their interest in the Peterborough CORE. Registration is no obligation and allows CityFibre to map demand and connect businesses while construction teams are working in an area. This avoids businesses incurring the additional costs and inconvenience of returning at a later date. The more businesses that register, the more will be in reach of the network.

In addition to providing businesses and the council with state of the art connectivity, the Peterborough CORE network is designed to underpin any eventual roll-out of a city-wide fibre-to-the-premises network.

Councillor Marco Cereste, Leader of Peterborough City Council, is pleased that construction work is progressing. He said: "Peterborough is the fastest growing city in the UK and that means we need the fastest possible internet speed.

"It is good to see that work has started on the project because when it is complete it will help not only the business community but also Peterborough's, schools, and public services.

"There may be some disruption over the coming months, however it will be worth it as it will set Peterborough on course to be one of the most connected cities in the world."

Communications Minister Ed Vaizey has also added his support to the Peterborough CORE project saying: "This is tremendous news for Peterborough businesses and provides a significant boost to the Government's transformation of UK internet speeds already underway. I strongly urge businesses to make the most of this opportunity to ensure they are properly equipped to compete in today's digital age."



Case study

One of the first customers to sign up for Peterborough CORE is solicitors, Taylor Rose. Luke Hutchings, Head of Employment at Taylor Rose, is looking forward to utilising the ultra-fast connection. He said: "We are very excited to be the first business to take gigabit services on the Peterborough CORE. As a fast-growing, innovative firm, with almost 200 employees working online simultaneously, our current connectivity risks holding us back. We have ambitions to provide more and more of our services online and the gigabit service from Businesscoms means we will be able to do more, faster than ever before. It's good news for our business and for Peterborough's wider business community."
