Hi, gestern wollte ich mich schon was den Markt in Island betrifft aeussern, leider konnte ich meinen Text nicht absenden. Heute habe ich keine Lust. Nur ganz kurz, die Islaender sind viel offener fuer technische Neuigkeiten als die Deutschen (etwa 80% haben ein Handy! und das DVD ist schon ueber all) und ich denke, obwohl der Markt in Island klein ist, könnte Metabox und die Partner wichtige Erfahrung hier sammeln. Man kann so eine Box, und den Service "testen" d.h. hier hat man eine fest definierte Zielgruppe. Ausserdem ist die Infrastruktur schon da, das Kabelnetz gibt es schon in dem kleinen Ort Akureyri der am Rande des Polarkreises liegt. Hier ein Link und die News dazu (nicht ganz neu aber noch aktuell): http://www.lina.net/english/indexf.asp?id=/english/frettir.a… Ericsson and Icelandic network operator, Lina.Net, have joined in a ground breaking contract on delivery of “Fiber To The Home” in Reykjavik worth SEK 120 million – one of the most extensive “Fiber To The Home” contracts to date. It is also the first project that brings fiber-optical network to a whole area in a big city. With up to 100 megabit band width in the new fiber network, the citizens of Reykjavik will benefit from services such as Digital TV, Video-on-demand, high-speed Internet access (100Mbps), advanced security systems, home shopping and education. “We are proud of this break through on Fiber To The Home. People have been talking about Fiber To The Home for long time. Now, we are able to offer it to thousands of citizens in Reykjavik, and we see great global perspectives in our solutions”, says Eirikur Bragason, Managing Director in Lina.Net. To Ericsson, the agreement constitutes another success for the trademark on optical fiber network, Ribbonet™. “We are very happy to deliver the concept for one of most innovative and largest Fiber To The Home deals to date. Ericsson provides a total solution including all aspect from network design to delivery of cables and other components”, says Brian Madsen, Product Group Manager, Ericsson Components Distribution. “Broadband technologies will empower home communication far beyond what is possible today. Consumers will be ‘always on’ and have vast selection of services for entertainment, shopping, home working and much more – with no waiting times”, says Brian Madsen. Lina.Net was founded by the Reykjavik Energy Company just a year ago in order to provide services for companies in the telecommunication market. “Creating one of the biggest Fiber To The Home projects ever is well in line with Lina.Net’s strategy of being the leader in connecting homes through fiber-optical network”, says Eirikur Bragason. Ericsson is the leading communications supplier, combining innovation in mobility and Internet in creating the new era of mobile Internet. Ericsson provides total solutions covering everything from systems and applications to mobile phones and other communications tools. With more than 100,000 employees in 140 countries, Ericsson simplifies communications for customers all over the world. Lina.Net is a Network Operator which has built a high-capacity backbone structure with access over the Cantat-3 ocean cable to Europe and USA. The main objectives of the company are to establish a carrier system for telecommunications within the Reykjavik Metropolitan area, and to establish a distribution system for telecommunications within residential areas.
