Dark Fiber Convention 2011

Sustaining International and Metro Fibre Investment and Growth

As deployment continues to offer new opportunities to enterprise users, data centres, submarine cable operators and carriers, this year’s programme will assess the Investment perspective, models being adopted, costs, pricing and profitability. The content rich programme covers an array of technical and commercial challenges that are evolving in a shifting dark fibre market.

The international convention will assess a wide range of issues including the increased deployment occurring at metro, access, rural and national level and funding mechanisms. The event will also act as a forum for recommendations and regulatory changes that the industry sees as necessary, assess investment is a core theme and the perspective of Dark Fibre as an asset, and its ROI, review the Dark Fibre cost stack and its impact on pricing strategies, and look in detail at customer segments, and geographic areas offering new growth opportunities in emerging markets including central and eastern Europe, Turkey and Africa.
