Abstract: | An increase of broadband demand is forecasted by transitional methods that consider the effect of this increase through many
factors, such as customer requirement diversification, and new service introduction and deployment under competition. Broadband
demand forecasting has become important for closing the digital divide, promoting regional developments, and constructing
networks economically; therefore, a demand forecast model that considers the mechanisms of market structure is necessary.
In this paper, a demand analysis method for broadband access combining macro- and micro-data mining is proposed, and the service
choice behaviour of customers is introduced as a customer model not only to express the macro trend of market structure, but
also to consider area marketing. The proposed method can estimate the potential demand, determine the point at which broadband
demand growth peaks in a specified area, and support a decision for ultra high-speed broadband access facility installation. |
