| Resumo: | [ABSTRACT] Telecommunication infrastructures constitute a key point for development of a society. A robust infrastructure for telecommunication services enables competitiveness of a country, power its economic growth and promote welfare of his population. On the contrary, a weak infrastructure is responsible for low penetrations in the access of broadband services, low productivity and, at the end, higher life cost. The present project proposes a technical solution for a new telecommunication infrastructure in Sao Tome and Principe based in Fiber to the home - FTTH technology, as the best way to overcome the problem related with low penetration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and high cost of those services currently registered in this country. Studies have shown that price and penetration of fixed broadband services are quite related, and FTTH is the only technology able to provide all those services at low cost for at least next 50 years without necessity of replacement and the revenue for the companies are ensured. The project is complemented by an economic assessment of the technological solution based on current equipment prices in the market. However it worth to consider that for its implementation the business model based on a phased strategy is the best solution, taking as the starting point the area where there is the highest number of companies and users, as a way to achieve the goals and get success without the need for large investments a priori. |
