Computer is the most useful invention after the wheel. It has completely changed the course of our lives. The internet has connected everyone. The world has become a global village now. It is now possible to communicate to a person living on the opposite corner of the world by the use of internet. It has changed the course of living. The introduction of the internet has made its way to the existence of broadband service which attain its climax these days. Strategies to get a high speed internet are possessed by the broadband system. All over the world, an array of organizations give a broadband services. Many companies have introduced a new system that is more efficacious and powerful recently. This system is called as optic fibre broadband. FIBER BROADBAND PLAN BT group also known as British Telecommunications have given a whole new plan for the fiber broadband. They have a plan to grant internet modalities at cheaper rates to over 10 million subscribers. According to their spokesperson this rollout of FTTC will get completed up till 2012. The BT's management is very confident and it says they are fully confident that customers will appreciate their high class services despite the fact that the view of the market analysts and critics that the BT will have a hard time completing this project and collect the revenues. They will basically provide internet facility at very fast speed. The said program is divided into two different parts. One is called the FTTH (fiber to the home) and the second is called FTTC (FIBER TO THE CABINET). Even if these two share the same objective that is to provide fiber broad band to its customers but each of them will work differently. The FTTH program will grant 100 Mbps speeds and the FTTC will grant only 40 Mbps speed. In the FTTC program the broadband will first reach the box and then the cable from the box will take it to the home or premises. It has enough speed for the home or small office use. The target year of the BT is 2010 in order to provide this FTTC broadband to about 10 million people. They are done with all their calculations and they are full of hope for this project. FUTURE ASPECTS OF THE ROLLOUT OF FTTC Customers and manufacturers share a large number of advantages from the FTTC broadbands. Good quality internet services which includes all the programs etc at the cheaper rates will be provided by the FTTC broadbands. This project takes an advantage since it has a minimum investment at the start and maximum profit at the end. TOTAL INVESTMENT BY THE BT FOR ROLLOUT OF FTTC Normally it may take £18 billion to complete this project but the British telecommunication will complete it in only £1.5 billion. No doubt, the management of the BT says that the customers will be ready to give £5 a premium for getting the high quality and efficient internet connection. In 2012 over 10 million people will be using the fiber broadband at their home as well in the offices if the project turned out right. This will be a new addition and a start of another success story for the whole world.
