CLEC and FTTP H.248/Megaco

Mon May 5 13:59:40 UTC 2014

It would probably be simplest to allow the operator to run the physical network and provide the CLEC's access to service provisioning on that network.

Thanks,

We currently use MGCP on our ONTs.  The configuration file is downloaded at boot, and contains the IP address of the our switch.

In theory, the IP address could be set in the configuration file to point to a different service provider on a per ONT basis.

Unbundling of FTTH access is still going to be painful.  I would suspect the ILEC would demand that their ONT be used.  This could lead to interop issues.

If I were asking for unbundled FTTH, I'd probably want to run my own OLT, and have my own (or ILEC supplied, but designated) splitter in the ILEC cabinet.  I would then lease feeder fibre from a POI to the splitter cabinet, then fibre subloops to the customer.

The problem becomes that if too many competitors want access to the same cabinet, there is the possibility that there may not be enough room or feeder fibres.
