But even a cost reduction of around 10% could have a <strong>significant impact<\/strong> because infrastructure deployment isn&#8217;t cheap and accounts for around <strong>80% of the overall expense<\/strong> (estimates vary).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Analysys Mason Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>We have estimated the cost reduction that could be realised from adopting slot-cutting, optimised mole-ploughing and aerial cables on a wide-scale in the UK. As a baseline, we have taken Analysys Mason\u2019s estimate for the cost of nationwide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> GPON coverage from the work we did for the Broadband Stakeholder Group, namely GBP24.6 billion. That total is based on the use of traditional civils techniques, and includes assumptions on duct re-use, volume of new-build, and unit costs for traditional install in different kinds of terrain.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>By modifying the unit install costs (estimated using information received from interviewees during the course of our study) and also applying a \u2018real-world\u2019 deployment factor to reflect the fact that in practice each technique can only be applied to a percentage of eligible areas, we have estimated the potential benefit of the three techniques<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At present the current deployment methods tend to favour underground installation.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/wp-content\/gallery\/2012-internet-statistics\/fibre_optic_deployment_cost_savings_uk.gif\" alt=\"fibre optic deployment cost savings uk\" \/><\/div>\n<p>The study suggests that the use of<strong> slot-cutting in hard surfaces<\/strong> could potentially deliver a cost saving of GBP3 billion (12% of the total cost), whilst <strong>mole-ploughing<\/strong> could deliver a saving of GBP2.0 billion (8% of the total cost).<\/p>\n<p>On top of that the use of <strong>aerial cables<\/strong> instead of slot-cutting and mole-ploughing in new build routes could deliver a maximum cost saving of GBP7.6 billion (31% of the total), although the report said it was &#8220;<em>questionable whether aerial could be used at such scale efficiently<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>In addition the report suggests that these savings &#8220;<em>only be delivered if the techniques were adopted by industry on a widespread basis<\/em>&#8220;, which would apparently require &#8220;<em>successful commercialisation of the relevant recent or expected technical developments<\/em>&#8220;.
