  1. ATUG 2009 NBN Reference Model Forum GQAAS Discussion Stephen Wright 6 November 2009

  2. Observations • Comprehensive document • Architecture Model looks beyond NBN Co • Is an industry-wide Model • Embraces End-Users, NBN Co, Wholesale SPs, Retail ISPs and Application Providers • Addresses wireless as well as fibre delivery • Addresses key market structure issues • Strengthens retail competition • National coverage capability for SPs • Equal terms of access for SPs

  3. Discussion Points - Overview • Wholesale Services provided • Points of Interconnect • Network Resilience • Competitive Services at Retail • What does 100 Mbit/s mean ? • Transition Arrangements • Additional Points

  4. Wholesale Services Provided • Layer 2 only , or Layer 3 ? • NBN Co saying L2, CA suggesting L3 option) • Layer 1 in some locations • POTS support? • Will FTA and Pay TV be supported? • Will Multicast be supported

  5. Points of Interconnect • Locations where RSPs will pick up aggregated customer traffic • Capital Cities (Type A) + Regional (Type B) • Should be choice • No overbuild of existing transmission • NBN could buy its ‘transport’ from existing carriers • Possible Implications for End Users • Expectation is normalised price across the country • Dilemma – Providing choice of cheaper prices for local interconnect drives a distance factor into SPs costs • Is one option for NBN Co to purchase required collective backhaul and amortise the cost

  6. Competitive Retail Services • Internet, Telephony, Video • Switching outside NBN Co • Interception still SP responsibility • Triple Play a key capability for SPs • Telstra ownership in Foxtel • Significant lever on customer proposition – still has market power • Case for a ‘scale’ wholesale IPTV Multicaster

  7. Network Resilience • What level of ‘availability’ do we want at the end user level? • Telstra achieves ~ 99.90% for PSTN • Should we be aiming for 99.95% or higher • Chance now to design-in improved SLA • Less failures + faster restoration • Ring architecture to OLT , Distribution points • Built in service testing capability for SP

  8. What does 100Mbit/s mean? • Users can pay higher price for higher QoS but • What will be the characteristics of the most widely-used ‘best-efforts’ Broadband service • By necessity, will still be statistical multiplexing in the network • ACCC very interested in this area in the past • What will be the minimum speed for best efforts • User bandwidth increasing 50% every year – in 12 years ~ 100 times what we use today. • Network must adequately scaled now for longer term • Possible differentiation point for SPs - how much aggregated backhaul capacity they commit to per user. Will NBN Co set minimum?

  9. Transition Arrangements • Is ONT provided at time of installation • Who provides, owns and maintains ONT • (NBN Co indication it will own and maintain) • For wireless equivalent , does this still apply • Which of my Service Providers will be the Access Seeker? • How is existing service bundle transitioned to the new network? • New service level or equivalent? • Same Price ? • Introductory Broadband service available? • Telephony only available?

  10. Other Discussion Points • Allocation of QoS allowances (packet loss, jitter, delay) between • On-net within NBN Co network • Off-net – Service Providers and International • Relation of NBN service to CSG • Relation to NBN service to USO
