 Open Access
and the OSPN |
|
|
|
The emergence of community broadband networks has led to the development and rollout of an entirely new model for broadband service delivery model called the Open Service Provider Network (OSPN™). The OSPN starts with a principle-based business model that fundamentally transforms the broadband market landscape for communities across the country by separating network ownership from network services. In this way, the OSPN model enables community-based, open access fiber networks to bypass supersede existing service provider monopolies. The OSPN overcomes the monopolistic forces of incumbent carriers within a community by making the network infrastructure available to as many competing third-party service and content providers as possible. The outcome is not only greater consumer choice, but also breakthrough telecommunications services and true broadband capacity to consumers at significantly reduced cost. Superior video, voice, and data services, distance education, tele-medicine, and video conferencing all become commonplace in the dynamic cities operating under the OSPN model. These types of services are actively sought in communities across the country; their proliferation is inevitable and will have a direct impact.
