 We're here at the ITU studio in Geneva today. I'm very pleased to be joined by Frank van der Putten, who's one of the key experts working in the domain of the access technologies that bring internet into our homes. Welcome, Frank. Thank you, sir. We're glad to be here. I understand that there's a key new standard that ITU is working on that should be due before the end of the year called G-Fast. I was wondering if you could tell us a little bit more about it. Well, G-Fast is the follow-up on ADS and MVDSL. So things that the Q4 has been working on for the last 15 years. And so, where ADSL was about a few megabits per second to the end customer, and MVDSL a few tens of megabits. G-Fast will be about a few hundreds of megabits to the end customer. So that should really enable much faster services to the end user and also allow the operator to provide those services to the end user in particular ways that we did not have with ADSL and MVDSL. So what sorts of things will it mean for a consumer like myself? What will G-Fast, if I subscribe to a G-Fast service, what will it bring? G-Fast service will bring the hundreds of megabits of service way faster than ever before. It's like 100 times faster than ADSL. So that means services like Ultra HD video or cloud services, things alike that require a lot of bandwidth. These are evolving all the time. And the key aspect will also be that G-Fast wants to be a self-installed technology. So that means that when the end user gets his box, let's say, from the operator, it could be plugged in any telephone socket in the home. So that means that the end user would not need to drill the walls or anything of this. No new wires to be installed is a very important aspect of G-Fast. And I guess that's a really important aspect for the operators, because they won't then have to deploy technicians to people's homes. That's exactly the intention from the operator perspective to fold no technicians to the homes, because self-install for the end user. But also G-Fast goes together with what we call the fiber to the distribution point. So very close to the home, say maybe only 100 meters away. And for the operator, it's important to offer fiber to the home experience to the end user by not having to dig the front yards or drilling the walls or anything of that sort. And also installing the equipment first time right. So that means if there are new users coming along, the operator would not have to dispatch technicians neither to the network equipment close by the premise, neither inside the premise to assist the end user with the installation. And realistically, when might I be able to subscribe to G-Fast from my operator at home in France? Well, our intention is our goal is to approve the first version of G-Fast, which we want to be like 100 megahertz wide profile early next year. So that's going to mean that traditionally, after we make a standard, there's going to be some interoperability testing, which is of key importance where we collaborate with the Broadband Forum on this. Then the silicon needs to be implemented, systems needs to be put together by the system vendors. So let's say sometime 2015, we could be expecting equipment. So some first trials have been announced. And so that's a good thing to show that the intended bandwidths that users need are effectively working on the existing wiring as intended by the standard. So that's quite key in this. I look forward to that. What one final question, G-Fast, is used on copper wires. Have we now reached the limit of what we can do with that traditional part of the telecommunication network, those copper wires? In the sense of the deployment scenario where we have now come to the point where we only use really the last few meters, let's say, of the wire, probably, yes, the next stage would be fiber to the home probably. From a standards perspective, as I mentioned, we're going to do a first version, 100 meg wide. There is the intention to do a second version. Subsequently, there is like 200 megahertz wide. In putting this kind of frequencies on the wire, though, we need to be careful not to disturb other services. So we have to take into account all kind of abilities, also as part of the standard in how the operator can make sure not to disturb FM radio or TV or audio broadcast or any of those services. That's also an important aspect that the regulators are watching us on. Well, I'm sure I'll be coming back to you with the same question in 10 years' time. But thanks very much for joining us today, Frank. Thank you.
