  1. Developing successful PPPs to foster investment in universal broadband networks Dr Matt Yardley, Partner, Analysys Mason ITU Regional Experts Group Meeting for Europe, 14 November 2012, Geneva The views expressed in this presentation are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the ITU or its Membership.

  2. Using public funds more effectively • Monitoring outcomes vs objectives • Managing risks (budget, timing) • Stimulating and creating demand The report is aimed at helpingPPP projects achieve better outcomes

  3. Latvia Mongolia Lithuania We looked at 13 PPP broadband projects around the world Slovakia Pakistan The Dominican Republic Saudi Arabia Malaysia Qatar Singapore Kenya Paraguay Argentina Wide range of projects , from local access to submarine cable

  4. Conduct a public consultation • Consider multiple investment models and funding • Be technology neutral • Conduct pilot projects • Provide funding in line with milestones and targets • Mandate open access and monitor compliance • Consider setting up parallel initiatives to stimulate demand Key findings: Best practices in establishing successful projects

  5. Potential stakeholders include: • end users • telecommunication operators • other government agencies • local authorities • equipment vendors Conduct a public consultation Examples: Dominican Republic RBC Project (industry and users) ;Saudi Arabia Universal Service Project (public consultation; levy idea tested)

  6. Mixed broadband projects (access/core networks, urban/rural/international connectivity) may need to consider: • different investment models • Public design/build/operate (DBO) and public outsourcing (PO) • different funding sources • Universal service funding and government grants Consider multiple investment models and funding Examples: Argentina Connected (core is public DBO; urban access is PO) ; Malaysia National Broadband Initiative (grants for urban, USF for rural)

  7. Projects should not be limited to one technology • difficult topographies • lack of last-mile copper access • backhaul may be challenging • Authorities should consider operators’ capabilities • expertise working with technology and operating networks Be technology neutral Examples: Pakistan USF Broadband Programme (DSL, HSPA and WiMAX in unserved urban and rural areas)

  8. Test the ability of the project to meet its objectives • Identify risks • Identify key learning points Conduct pilot projects Examples: Saudi Arabia Universal Service Project; Dominican Republic RBC;Mongolia WiFi/VSAT

  9. The timing of payments could be based on: • roll-out plan (coverage, and availability of services) • take-up of services Provide funding in line with milestones and targets Examples: Pakistan USF Broadband Programme (technical auditor role)

  10. Promotes competition • Supports innovation • Minimises market distortion • State aid rules require open access (EC) Mandate open access andmonitor compliance

  11. Provide free or subsidised laptops/netbooks • Establish centres to train people • Establish centres to provide access to broadband • Provide general ICT training Consider setting up parallel initiatives to stimulate demand Examples: Argentina Connected (netbooks for 1.9m students); Dominican Republic RBC Project (website development assistance); Pakistan USF Broadband Programme (community and education broadband centres)
