Thoughts on a secondary market
Forward dated contracts to buy network services• NHS tele-care patients, LEA school children, housing
associations, communities• Network builders could take the contracts as anchor
tenants and collateral
Capacity Planning
Future Option=
Summary - Why this can work
• Fungible assets– Not based on bandwidth– Metre of duct, metre of dark fibre, a wavelength, a VLAN– Each asset is sufficiently homogenous to compare, and
different enough to generate market choices• Liquidity
– European scale– Transition conditions until experience & scale are
sufficient– Market operation will lead to a fluid, fair market
• Trading Platform– Interface system– Trading & settlement
• Technical/Operational Standards– NICC & BSG/COTS– INCA
• European Governance structure
Summary - Next Steps
Aiming for operation in Q4 this year
