01 6park.com疫情唤醒投资者对光纤固网的“胃口” 6park.com
There was once a time when the words “fixed line” turned investors cold — as the extraordinary growth of wireless telecoms and mobile data made cabling seem antiquated. 6park.com 曾几何时,“固网”这个词让投资者感到厌倦——那时无线电信和移动数据的非凡增长使线缆连接的网络显得过时。 6park.comYet, in the age of full-fibre broadband, those tables have turned. Investors are backing a new generation of smaller, alternative cabled networks — dubbed “alt-nets” — forcing larger incumbents to increase their investment in broadband. 6park.com然而,在当今的全光纤宽带时代,局面发生了逆转。投资者正在支持新一代规模较小的替代固网——即所谓“替代网络”——迫使规模更大的老牌企业加大对宽带的投资。 6park.comIn the five years to 2024, the growth in fixed-line connectivity will be most pronounced in Spain, China, Egypt and the US, according to forecasts from Omdia, a technology consultancy. Spain has become one of the most competitive markets in Europe in recent years. The fast rollout of full fibre broadband has been the bedrock of that competition, and consolidation is emerging in what is one of Europe’s most highly penetrated fibre markets. 6park.com据技术咨询公司Omdia预测,在截至2024年的五年期间,西班牙、中国、埃及和美国的固网连接将出现最大增长。西班牙近年成为欧洲最具竞争力的市场之一。全光纤宽带的快速部署是这场竞争的基石,与此同时欧洲渗透率最高的光纤市场之一正在出现整合。 6park.com——本文2021年12月6日发布于FT中文网,英文原题为Full-fibre broadband fuels investor appetite for fixed line

That’s quite amazing.” 6park.com马斯克已经通过美国监管机构获得了3万多颗卫星的许可。阿施巴赫表示,马斯克的星链已经规模太大,监管机构或竞争对手很难赶上。“一个人拥有世界上一半的现役卫星。这是相当惊人的。” 6park.com——本文2021年12月6日发布于FT中文网,英文原题为Elon Musk is setting the rules in space, ESA chief warns
