Très haut débit et prospective réglementaire quel modèle pour la régulation des réseaux de nouvelle génération (ngn)?
The Very High Flow and Regulatory Perspective. What Model for the Regulation of the NGN?

Summary/Abstract: Very high speed broadband: you can’t see the wood for the trees. Indeed, whatever the actual output, it only will go increasingly, following the pattern of Moore’s famous law applying to processors. By very high speed we mean the profound transition currently taking place within communication networks. The old PSTN progressively moves away to leave the space for new generation networks (NGN). These new networks will allow offering multimedia services from any kind of access network (fibre, WiMax, satellite). The migration towards NGNs seems inevitable because of the need for, on the one hand, voice/data/image convergence and, on the other hand, fixed mobile convergence. Most players in France, Europe and most parts of the world have started the migration. Its impact needs to be analyzed and anticipated. The new access technologies (such as FTTH for example) will be an essential component. They are directly influencing on ICT penetration within the population. This transition to a fixed, mobile and multimedia network, controlled by a unique architecture, renews in depth the regulatory approach. Value will gradually be redistributed from access towards service and content providers. As a consequence, it is important to anticipate the changes on the value chain associating a relevant regulation.
