In the Netherlands various fiber infrastructures have been deployed over time for various (semi) public applications – many of which are only used by a single organisation. Some of these networks have large amounts of extra capacity. For the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Dialogic conducted a study on these semi public fiber networks in the Netherlands. We also studied the reasons for network owners to provide their overcapacity on the market or not.
In this project I was involved in various aspects related to the GIS analysis. The full report (in Dutch) can be downloaded below.
