Abstract :
The FP6-BREAD-co-ordination action aims at developing a multi-disciplinary approach for the realization of the ´Broadband for All´ concept within Europe. It performs a multi-technological analysis of the current and evolving situation, starting from roadmaps generated by different IST instruments focusing on specific technological domains. BREAD also studies the techno-economic, societal and regulatory aspects. This paper mainly focuses on the information collected by BREAD on the use of photonics in the access domain, in which optics compete with other technologies.
