WHAT IS EQUAL ACCESS NETWORK Def. : Wholesale access on equal terms for Subscriber Service Providers It means, that: • multiple Service Providers simultaneous on one access line; • separation between network and services on the service level; • subscriber has billing relationship with service providers. BALTIC IT&T 2006 FORUM: e. Baltics

WHY EQUAL ACCESS NETWORK • Shares the risks and revenues of broadband deployment. • A non-discriminating business model where everyone competes on equal terms. • Increases the freedom of choice for the end users. • Improves service-take-rate and thus ARPU. BALTIC IT&T 2006 FORUM: e. Baltics
