question? who is ready (iDA, RSP or you)

HOT NEWS (Straits Times 31 Oct): MCST of Condo – are you ready?

Why Where When What How

20122010

when

‐ when is the big wave coming?‐ NGNBN officially launched (Oct 10)

RSP marketing activities starteddone: 2008‐ NGNBN “GO”‐ $ allocated‐ NetCo, OpCo

in progress:‐ home Pass (60%)‐ home Reach (?)

‐ RSP marketing activities started

what

‐ what is exciting? advertisement‐ only hyping the “speed”

ill i i f i i /id

video – comprehensive explanation

‐ still waiting for innovation/ideas

how

‐ is the take‐up rate good?‐ how to increase adoption?


http://www.opennet.com.sg/p

‐ carrot or stick?

home‐reach is not equal to subscription

• success of NGNBN – current subscribers must migrate

– new subscribers created

loyal adoption (low churn rate)

900,000 homes, 200 over buildings

Home Pass: 60% (2010) – loyal adoption (low churn rate)

• home reach– FREE: only 15m, only 1‐port

Home Pass: 60% (2010)

Home Reach: ? %

– reach and subscribe is different

– FO terminate at TV point (correct?)

• home networking

Subscribe: ? %

? % • home networking– key to loyal adoption

– most users do not know benefits

loyal adoption

? %


acceptance ≥ subscription ≥ loyal adoption

home networking – critical key to NGNBN

so, what is home networking?

• to be a good home networking specialist:to be a good o e et o g spec a st:– fundamentally good at connectivity

• structured cabling (copper, fiber optics)• wireless (at least Wi‐Fi), BPL and HomePNT

– competence in setup and configuration• NGNBN setup box and its configurationNGNBN setup box and its configuration• home networking setup (resources sharing)• home security setup (especially Wi‐Fi)

– know where is your line of responsibility• clean virus? recover hard disk?• set “passwords” for customer (No‐No)

[2] HOME‐NETWORKING TECHNOLOGIES

this is mind boggling ….

[2] HOME NETWORKING TECHNOLOGIES


any best technology in home networking?

your guess is as good as mine – NOT QUITE SURE!

wifi ADSLother wireless Best Technology?

each has its pros and cons

coaxialstructured cabling

‐ each has its pros and cons‐ Wi‐Fi seems to be preferred‐ hybrid combination is best

home usercabling

power ultra‐wide

home user‐ confuse‐ don’t know‐ no helpp

line band (UWB)

may lead to low adoption for NGNBN


NGNBN

full of choices but which is better?

home networking

question is not about which is better but rather how to use the right home networking

mobile network GPON ‐ NGNBN

but rather how to use the right combination of platforms

structured cable wirelesspower line

(BPL)

Coaxial

(HomePNT)

copper Wi‐Fi UWB Bluetooth HomePlug AV MOCA

fiber optics 802.11b/g

802.11n

WiGig

wireless HD

HPNA


better choice is more about …

cost ease securecost ease secure

1. installation2. equipment3. electricity4 upgrade

1. plug and play2. aesthetic looks3. TV interference

1. hacking / spamming2. unsafe e‐transaction3. privacy violation4. information leakage

User usually don’t bother too much on Technology (anyway, they also don’t know)Concern – most users tend to neglect network security

4. upgrade5. maintenance

g5. unauthorized usage


Concern – most users tend to neglect network security

last mile structured cabling – which one?

FUTURE?:OK, recommend me the type of cable and why?

fiberMOMENTUM:

STILL NEW:should we?

EARLY:should we?

why don’t we?cable and why?

cat 6Acat 7

fiber NOW:most common

MOMENTUM:gaining

WHY?:save the pain

cat 5ecat 6

WHY?:

WHY?:industry pushingdue to Giga Ethernet

play now?

since cable is designed for 15 years, should we go for

WHY?:cheapest

WHY?:industry settingdeployment pace

due to Giga Ethernet 15 years, should we go for Cat6A, Cat7 or maybe FO?Cost will spiral, will user pay the big increase?


coaxial HNT technology – which one?

• Two major standards using coaxial as last‐mile

HNT: Home Network Transceiver

Two major standards using coaxial as last mile– MoCA: www.mocalliance.org

• Multimedia over Coaxial AllianceMultimedia over Coaxial Alliance

• MoCA 2.0 = 400 Mbps, 800 Mbps

• claim to transport multiple HDTV streamsp p

– HPNA: www.hpna.org• Home Networking over phone wires and coax

• HPNA 3.1 = 320Mbps

• not compatible with DOCSIS (de‐facto standard for cable TV)


wireless technology – lion market share

• hurray – wireless LAN family is growing fast and furious– Wi‐Fi @ 2.4GHz, @5GHz www.wi‐fi.org– Bluetooth @ 2.4GHz– UWB @ 60GHz (up and coming) [UWB: Ultra Wide Band]

– 802.11 is working on the “ad” standard (ready in 2012)• 2 major camps for UWB

– WiGig: wwwwirelessgigabitalliance orgWiGig: www.wirelessgigabitalliance.org• speed up to 7 Gbps, 10x faster than 802.11n• backward compatible with 802.11

– Wireless HD: www.wirelesshd.orgd 0 28 Gb• speed up 10 to 28 Gbps (good enough for 1080 HD uncompressed video)

• iDA TSTC WG2 (working group) supports– UWB on 57‐66GHz, low power radiation type

but more studies needed to minimize interference


– but more studies needed to minimize interference

BPL Technology – another alternative

• looks ideal for Singapore homes

BPL: Broadband over Power Line

looks ideal for Singapore homes– best of both worlds (deliver power and data)

• wireless devices still need powerwireless devices still need power

– bulky design, form factor needs to go smaller

– may interfere with cable TV amateur radio– may interfere with cable TV, amateur radio

• HomePlug Powerline Alliance: www.homeplug.org

H Pl AV2 200Mb– HomePlug AV2 = 200Mbps

– pushing spectrum to 70 MHz


food for thought – choices of technology

• Everybody agreed that Giga‐Ethernet over y y g gstructured cable is still best in performance– why home users are going for 2nd Best?is cost and convenience the reason?– is cost and convenience the reason?

• using BPL, HomePNT actually consumes electricity• units are not cheap and not green• lack of regulatory “carrot and stick”

• Alliances are forming to protect– their current delivery platform (coaxial wireless power)their current delivery platform (coaxial, wireless, power)– retaining current customers with better platform– interference is somebody else problem


[3] TRUE VALUES OF NGNBNdon’t let “old” problems (marketing techniques) spoil this crown jewel

[3] TRUE VALUES OF NGNBN


who comes first? NGNBN or Home Networking

• Home Networking– driven from Microsoft, sharing of resources– it already exists way before Fiber Optics or NGNBN– mainly by IT world for Local Area Network (LAN)y y– IT world has little control over Telco world

• bottleneck arises, speed outside LAN is slow• Mobile world came in, Telco world starts to wake up

• NGNBN – make possible when IP becomes de‐facto standard– better if home networking is widely adoptedg y p

• good home networking should be a hybrid combination• educate and help the home owners to adopt

– NGNBN + Home Networking = more local content, more exciting


local content is key to NGNBN

where does popular contents come from?

Singapore: NBN infra ‐ good: high usage of www

Korea Japan China

: English ‐ OKbut‐ lack local contentso …

USA: www birthplace: has NBN infra??

Korea, Japan: NBN infra – good: high usage of www: no choice, local language

China: NBN infra ‐ growing: high usage of www: no choice, local language

so …‐ internet expensive


what does the NGNBN speed means?

• Quality of Speed depends on:– local or Int’l content?

• strong RSP has highstrong RSP has high International bandwidth

– degree of BW dilution?• affect QoS (service quality)

– size of RSP user base• “rich” RSP proxy server

– hosting of “that” contentg• RSP peering agreement

– upload/download speed• usually different


selling on speed is “short‐term”

RSP #1 RSP #2 RSP #3

no dilution = bestexpensive $

dilution = 20%average $

dilution = 50%cheapest $

YES – they are ALL orange juices, RSP never cheat you. EXCEPT it all tastes differently“dilution” means putting more users sharing the same backbone pipe

NGNBN must enforce same quality regardless of RSP


RSP must innovate and provide good value‐added services

wireless hacking and jacking is very real ….

Little Awareness GivenLittle Awareness Givento users on “wireless” Dangers

Much Awareness GivenMuch Awareness Givento users Internet Dangers


how real is wireless hacking?

• many people ASSUME in Singapore– is safe to walk at night, low crime rate – thus, internet is also safe ‐ so is Wi‐Fi (WRONG)– We intrude For information

• in reality, outside Singapore– Wi‐Fi hacking and jacking is notorious and sophisticated– 50% of UK homes can be hacked in 5 seconds50% of UK homes can be hacked in 5 seconds– Wi‐Jacking (piggy‐back on your network)

• Singapore will face the Wi‐Fi “security pain” (sooner or later)if home networking platform is only just Wi Fi– if home networking platform is only just Wi‐Fi

– home networking security is YOUR responsibility – Singapore is ideal due to high density population


how real is wireless hacking?

• what hacker really wants?– pro type: harvest your personal and financial info– mischievous type: for fun, disturb and cause “pain”

• how? these are low hanging fruits“ ” ( l )– imitate your “SSID” (e.g. wireless@SG)

– wifi jacking on public network– “man‐in‐the‐middle”, fake gateway

• you think this is secure?• you think this is secure?– hide SSID (only you know?)– WEP (really? use WEP Cracker)

– SSL certificate (are you sure?)– SSL certificate (are you sure?)• any security measure will be broken

– better to avoid sensitive information over public hotspots– use Wi‐Fi monitoring “sensor” to do 24 x 7 surveillance

so, how to increase NGNBN take‐up?

• bring in more RSP = higher NGNBN take‐up rate– not sure, but things may change if there is a new Big Boy

• use Stick (regulatory approach)– increase the usage of e‐learning to students (MOE)

HD hi id• HD graphic, video– “force” the old technology out (e.g. Pager, AMPS,2G)

• give Carrot (still the 3G approach)R21 adult movie to On Demand TV ( d )– R21 adult movie to On‐Demand TV (approved now)

• video (High‐Definition may increase subscriptions further)

– next? “casino” to On‐Demand TV– high graphic games (sticky type)(on‐line gambling?)g g p g– home‐based stock/options trading (attract male)

– good IPTV‐serial drama (attract female, children)

– Best carrot is to drop the broadband prices down
