- Socio-economic Impact of Fiber to the Home in Sweden - in pdf format (2765kb)
- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). By Ziyi Xiong. Degree project in Communication Systems Second level, 30.0 HEC Stockholm, Sweden. Communication Systems, School of Information and Communication Technology, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, 26 February 2013. "Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) has been talked about since the introduction of fiber in the 1970s. It is nowadays shaping up to be the foundation of our new digital society, bringing economic prosperity and a multitude of business, social, and entertainment opportunities to its users. The increased consumer demand for high-speed network accessibility is being taken more and more seriously and a fiber-based network is able to cope with these growing demands due to its wide bandwidth and reliability. Today there is a practical need for quantitative analysis regarding the socio-economic impacts of fiber-based access networks. This analysis could be used as an indicator/reference for all the stakeholder entities as they consider future investments and developments. Sweden is a suitable target country for this analysis since it has adopted fiber for some years and the benefits that FTTH has brought seem to already be tangible. The primary value of this thesis lies in investigation of its quantified evidence of the socio-economic impacts of FTTH deployment in Sweden. This has been achieved based on data from the Swedish Post and Telecommunications Authority (PTS), Statistics Sweden (SCB), previous related studies, and information collected on-line from operators involved in the fiber market, along with empirical analysis based on multivariate regression models. The results of the study show that fiber penetration has had a significant impact on the population’s evolution, specially the net amount of migration into a municipality, which indicates the attractiveness of municipalities per se..."
