Rural-Broadband UK infrastructure

    "4.4 Rural coverage and take-Up With a population density almost an order of magnitude greater than Scotland's, South Korea does not provide many lessons in rural coverage. However, Australia does. Its overall density is 1/20th Scotland's with vast tracks of land populated by less than one person per ten square kilometers and in some cases per hundred square kilometers. As a result Australia has not been able to escape the urban-rural digital divide, which, as already noted, is embodied in its two-track fast broadband deployment strategy. A large 93% of the population will have access to 100 Mbps service, according to the NBN plan, while the remaining 7%--in rural and remote areas-is being promised up to 12 Mbps only.[6]NBN simply assumes that rural and remote areas do not justify FTTH and that they will be served by fixed wireless and satellite technologies. On the mobile side, on the other hand, Australia has relied on competition between its mobile operators (reduced to three after a consolidation) to extend service beyond urban areas. This has generally produced limited results. Subsidies for better coverage have been applied at the state level, however, with Western Australia being an instructive example. Specifically, the Western Australia government conducted a reverse auction tender to improve mobile coverage in selected areas, which resulted in Telstra, the main incumbent operator, securing A$39.2 million in government aid (on top of committing A$106 million of its own funds) for this purpose. Like Australia, Sweden has large unpopulated areas to serve, yet cannot rely on new-generation satellites, which do not reach these areas. Initially Sweden relied on HSPA mobile coverage but it has recently added a national coverage requirement in the context of its 4G (LTE) spectrum auction. Specifically, the Swedish regulator identified rural homes and businesses that need to be covered, requiring 75% of the indicated homes and businesses to be covered by Decemb

  • easiest to implement
  • Progressive Download is supported by Flash, HTML5 browsers
  • bandwidth is wasted on data downloaded but not watched
  • simplicity of Progressive Download also has its downsides.
  • inability to change the quality of the video mid-stream
  • For longer videos, the downsides start to impact playback too much
  • Progressive Download works fine for short clips (a few minutes).
  • RTSP/RTMP Streaming
  • RTMP/RTSP Streaming is widely used by professional media organizations like Hulu
  • only deliver the frames of a video the user is currently watchin
  • most widely solution is used is RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol)
  • HTML5 does not include a dedicated streaming protocol, nor does the iPad/iPhone
  • RTMP streaming can change video quality mid-stream
  • allows for optimal playback quality in the fullscreen and WiFi/3G scenarios
  • if the connection speed drops below the minimum bandwidth needed for the video, playback will be continuously interrupted.
  • has specific server and protocol requirements, which makes it less accessible and adds significant complexity and cost
  • Adaptive HTTP Streaming is a fairly new streaming format
  • Adaptive HTTP Streaming works by storing your videos on the server in small fragment
  • daptive HTTP Streaming leverages standard webservers, it is supported by webhosters and CDNs alike.
  • none of the Adaptive HTTP Streaming implementations work with regular MP4 files.
  • Adaptive HTTP Streaming will likely become the single video streaming method over time
  • live streaming is not possible,
  • o data is downloaded in advance and data a user has seen is immediately discarded.
