Ikanos Communications: How Big is the VDSL Market? (Part III)

Hi Peter
BT’s access strategy is quite weird, in my humble opinion.
They are willing to deploy FTTH in greenfield settings, but basically it’s either pure FTTH or ADSL2+. I cannot think about another carrier in that scale that thinks that 10-25 megs are going to be enough. I guess the data you brought is a good explanation for that. Nevertheless, they should either get the remote terminals closer to end customers or go fiber all the way.
Why are they spending so much money on their core network anyway, when the bottlenecks might develop on the access side is beyond me…
