Now there is a video from LeWeb '08 where Jonas Birgersson, CEO at Labs², participated in a panel discussion.

Jonas speaks about the model for open networks based on a powerful and costeffective infrastructure - how it works in practise and why the model is the obvious choice for next generations broadband networks.

Jonas Birgersson has been invited to speak at LeWeb '08, where he will present ViaEuropa and the open network model.

LeWeb '08 is the largest conference in Europe within the web sphere and attracts more than 1,300 delegates from 25 countries. The conference is held in Paris on December 9-10.

Today Labs² received an order from ViaEuropa for the integration of CMTS (cable modem termination system) with the BRIKKS business support system, used by ViaEuropa to manage a number of open local networks. The work is due to be completed before the turn of the year and will give ViaEuropa the capacity to supply open networks in the next generation of cable TV networks.

“The Scandinavian market has a large number of potential customers for improved cable TV technology. When Labs² has delivered this integration, in partnership with Cable TV companies, ViaEurope will be able to offer open networks to a whole new target group,” says Iwe Persson, ViaEuropa.

Sweden is already well advanced in fibre-based local networks with open competition and expansion is ongoing throughout the country. This has given us low price broadband and speeds that other countries can only dream of. International interest in this model is now on the increase.

A report soon to be presented to OECD maintains that the conventional model of the network owner having sole rights to the supply of services restricts competition and the development of new services. This is according to an article in Business Week calling for open networks with modern infrastructures.

With our powerful BRIKKS business support system, we at Labs² are ready to provide the broadband market with the features it requires.
