- You will share one fiber among 32+ customers
- Technology vendor lock-in
- Small ISPs can't compete
- Overselling ratio of 24576!
- Illegal, but that wont stop us.
P2MP: Point-to-Monopoly
We are the leaders in communistic bandwidth sharing.
We are the leaders in communistic bandwidth sharing.
Let us explain how our innovative concept fucks over everyone except us
Point-to-Monopoly
Point-to-Point
By building P2MP instead of P2P, we force all competitors to use OUR infrastructure and OUR chosen technology. And the best thing? We can put 32 houses on a single 2.5 Gbit/s circuit, shareholders rejoice!
Since we started selling 10 Gbit/s connections, we started putting 32 customers on a single OLT that we connect with a two 10 Gbit/s circuits, ensuring pure congestion as soon as two households download linux isos
With P2MP, we control which equipment works on OUR network. Want to innovate? Too bad! You're stuck with whatever crappy GPON gear we approve.
Small ISPs need 30%+ market share to make P2MP profitable. Since we're already everywhere, they can't reach that. Result: They die, we win!
One fiber for 32 customers means we can sell 32 x 1Gbps = 32Gbps but only deliver 2.5Gbps. Mathematics is our friend!
ComCom said no? Federal Court confirmed? Who cares! We built 750,000 illegal P2MP connections anyway. Fines are just cost of doing business.
Watch how we tried to monopolize Swiss fiber and failed spectacularly
We announce P2MP for 1.5 million homes. ComCom immediately starts investigation. Oops!
Provisional measures issued. We're banned from building P2MP. Do we stop? Of course not!
Federal Administrative Court rules against us. We appeal to Federal Court. They also say we're idiots.
Urs Schaeppi, architect of this disaster, gets 1 million CHF severance. Crime pays!
18.4 million CHF fine. Must rebuild 750,000 connections to P2P. Only cost us ~500 million CHF total!
Here's what happens when you share fiber like it's 1995:
Meanwhile Init7 offers 25Gbps P2P for the same price. But hey, who needs actual speed when you can have marketing speed?
