From USC to USO

• Universal Service Commitment of 2Mbps is available via satellite just about everywhere.

• Digital Economy Bill 2016• every UK household to have legal right to fast

broadband• Minimum speed of 10Mbps guaranteed through

Universal Service Obligation• properties in “remotest areas” may have to contribute

to cost of installation

• USO – what uses should be publicly subsidised?

The purpose of the USO

A USO may meet a number of needs, but these have cost implications. Which are our ‘must haves’? (This is in part a political rather than a technical question)

? Preventing social exclusion

? Capturing network externalities

? Access to public services

? Enabling household economic participation

? Full access to unlimited entertainment content

? Rural/urban parity

? Any business anywhere

The relevant EC Directive speaks of ‘functional internet access’ and requires that it be ‘provided in a cost-effective manner’

Brings a significant increase in the cost of the USO

The conceptual scope of the USO can have dramatic implications for the technical requirements

• Some of the applications which are most demanding bring relatively little in the way of externalities– 4K TV, games downloads, rapid other

downloads

• Excluding 4K and games, and slowing other downloads, makes a sharp difference to required bandwidth

• Even this scenario leaves in much usage with limited externalities (YouTube, HD TV streaming, leisure web surfing …)
