This survey analyzes results from interviews with broadband operators in North America, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), Asia Pacific, and CALA (Caribbean and Latin America) about plans for providing and deploying Gigabit Broadband Services. In addition, the survey features operator ratings of key FTTH vendors (Alcatel-Lucent, ADTRAN, Calix, Cisco Systems, Dasan, ECI, FiberHome, Genexis, Huawei, Iskratel, KEYMILE, Packetfront, Zhone and ZTE) on 5 criteria. This survey includes interviews via telephone, in-person and on-line with 88 service providers during September 2014, regarding their plans to offer Gigabit Broadband services. The respondents, from all major regions, across all service provider categories (ILECs, CLECs, Municipalities, Utilities, Wireless Operators, Over-builders, etc.) were either the primary decision maker or have strong influence in the planning and deployment of Gigabit Broadband services. Participants provided input on a range of areas including timing of deployments for residential, business and Institutions; key drivers; key challenges; Gigabit Broadband technology selection; service offerings (current & future); pre-registration requirements; Gigabit Broadband availability (2014-2018); anticipated Gigabit Broadband take rates (5 year period); and perceived importance of offering Gigabit Broadband.
