NOTAS: | "Into the Labyrinth: Untangling the Real Costs of Unbundling" looks at five European incumbents costs of collocating in the local exchange (central office) for the provision of competitive DSL access over the unbundled local loop. This benchmark study of collocation pricing in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and United Kingdom, shows that start-up and recurring charges imposed by the incumbents for collocation facilities within a single central office appear modest on paper. But their true impact will be felt when operators start to expand coverage beyond a single location." |
