The hope is that it will spur technical innovation, efficiency, and automation, while maintaining a consistent high quality of service across the shared infrastructure for existing and new deployments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>It will outline how access network owners can offer their existing access infrastructure to retail service providers, as well as content, application, and cloud service providers. This approach helps established [broadband ISPs] potentially generate new revenue from their unused network capacity, while giving new providers a faster route to market their services<\/em>,&#8221; said the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative also addresses wholesale access deployment models applicable to different regulations across the globe. As part of the project, members can collaborate and share insights on their own experiences and advise on the lessons learned and challenges with real-world deployments.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Daniele Franceschini, Head of Technology &amp; Innovation at FiberCop, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs one of Europe\u2019s leading wholesale operators, FiberCop is proud to contribute its expertise in the initiative. Wholesale access has been inherently supported by the Broadband Forum\u2019s network architecture over the past 20 years, and this project takes the best practices from copper\u2011based broadband to reshape and evolve them for fiber and cloud networks.<\/p>\n<p>The project will identify and define the best innovations, solutions, and practices for Service Providers, covering topics from innovative line testing to domain monitoring, service differentiation, and far-edge computing. Besides serving as co-editor of this new BBF project, FiberCop is coordinating a collaborative team of BBF members committed to contributing on these subjects.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Daniel Willis, General Manager Advanced Access Technologies at NBN Co, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe project will prove incredibly insightful and help to present opportunities in implementing \u2018open\u2019 access within an ecosystem where the network is provided by a wholesale network operator, while the subscriber relationship is owned by a separate retail service provider\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The work set to be undertaken above sounds similar to what the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inca.coop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Independent Networks Co-operative Association<\/a> (INCA), which represents many of the UK\u2019s alternative broadband ISP networks, has already been doing with altnets via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2024\/02\/broadband-altnets-setup-new-uk-infrastructure-sharing-group.html\"><strong>Infrastructure Sharing Group<\/strong><\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2025\/10\/20-broadband-altnets-launch-new-uk-network-infrastructure-sharing-venture.html\">here<\/a>) and their complementary Wholesale Standards Initiative (WSI) &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2025\/11\/inca-continues-work-to-standardise-wholesale-full-fibre-among-uk-altnets.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice to say that the Broadband Forum&#8217;s project is probably arriving a bit too late to have much of an impact upon the UK&#8217;s market, but you never know.
