  • Abstract
    This paper provides a simple techno-economic study of various access network technologies for broadband data service delivery, including their deployment cost analysis. This study compares the deployment cost per unit bandwidth of different access technologies from a city perspective and can serve as a guideline for future access network deployment in the urban area.
