\"\"<\/a> Cisco has netted Swisscom as a customer for its super-fast edge router<\/a>, I noticed earlier this morning. According to OECD stats, the Swiss are leaders<\/a> in terms of broadband service delivery, so I read on to see what I was missing. From the release (emphasis mine):<\/p>\n

Cisco announced today that Swisscom is deploying the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router as the edge platform to support the rollout of high-bandwidth fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services to every household in Switzerland<\/strong>. Swisscom announced FTTH customer trials in April 2009, offering triple-play service bundles, which allow the simultaneous use of up to three high-definition television (HDTV<\/strong>) channels, Internet connections of 50 megabits per second downstream<\/strong> and 5 Mbps upstream, and telephone services.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s pretty cool, but even cooler is how Swisscom got to that point. Like AT&T and Qwest it began with a fiber-to-the-node strategy, but has since expanded its efforts to a fiber to the premise plan. As it has done this, Swisscom has taken steps to lay more fiber strands during its buildout so competitors can<\/a> use the network as well. For those interested in how regulatory policy may affect network build out, a presentation<\/a> (PDF) by Swisscom back in 2008 shows how the cost models differ if there is a regulatory incentive to share pipes at the passive infrastructure, network and transport layers.<\/p>\n
