The telecommunications operators and
EURESCOM identified early the necessity to provide cost-efficient broadband access to the
end customers. A number of new technologies have emerged and are trying to satisfy this
demand. Even if each new access technology has its merits and is technologically
justified, the landscape today is quite diversified leaving the customers, the network
operators and the service providers with the great challenge of integrating all these
technologies. The articles of our cover theme will, among others, address this issue.
