Need to identify the most appropriate incentives for the roll out of high capacity broadband networks Create conditions that support a possible ‘Race to Invest’ (improve efficiency, timing) Do not intervene in ways that would undermine the incentives to make those investments Must not undo existing competition in existing markets

Create conditions that support a possible ‘Race to Invest’ (improve efficiency, timing)
Do not intervene in ways that would undermine the incentives to make those investments
Must not undo existing competition in existing markets
Issues to be considered Information and access to information “ Higher level” access E.g. Access to Ducts Basis for intervention Pricing of access Form of obligations What should be the form of access? Scope of access (3 Criteria test) Specification Scope for co-ordination, role of NRAs in facilitating roll-out of NGA
