Case Study |

The Finnish subregion of Kaustinen comprises seven small

municipalities located in the region of Central Ostrobothnia in

Western Finland.To date, the subregion has been wholly

overlooked by communications service providers on the basis

of its sparse population and, thus, poor market prospects. As a

result, the subregion was faced with the genuine prospect of

being left utterly void of modern data communications

connections. In response, local residents resolved to take the

matter in hand and, in typical Ostrobothnian spirit, were

determined from the start that if the job was to be done, it

was to be done properly.Thus, Finland's first genuine Triple

Play network was established, bringing the Internet, telephone

traffic and television images to remote households and

companies in the Kaustinen subregion via a fiber network.

Part of the Information Society

At the turn of the millennium there were no ADSL

connections available in the subregion of Kaustinen.The area

was deemed as having insufficient market potential, and thus

faced complete exclusion from information society

developments. In addition to its lack of advanced data

communications, the subregion's prospects for inclusion in

digital television developments were also poor.

The region's residents took action and decided to build a

multiservice network which would bring modern connections

to the area.The Kaustinen subregion evaluated a number of

alternatives, of which a fiber-based solution proved the most

cost-effective in the long run.The network architect was

networks expert Kari Karvonen of Kasenet Oy.

"We settled on optical fiber because our vision was to

build a network that would also be capable enough to

meet our demands well into the future.The network had

to be able to deliver to its villages network customers not

only the services which are currently available on the

network, but also services which are only just now

breaking through onto the market, " says Karvonen.

In comparison to wireless technology for example, fiber

networks offer a more reliable long-term solution.

"Wireless networks quickly reach operating capacity. File

sharing and peer-to-peer network programs, for instance,

rapidly overload wireless systems, which means network IP

calls, not to mention high quality TV images, can no longer be

effectively transmitted. With networks built using optical cables

this is simply not a problem. "

The Kaustinen fiber network effectively delivers services to

the subregion's sparsely inhabited areas, keeping the area in

close step with – or even leading the way in – developments

in technology.

Community Backing

In order to realize the vision of bringing advanced connections

to the region, it was essential to get the local residents and

village communities behind the idea.The project organizers

toured the subregion gaining support for the project.

"Village meetings were held to discuss the fiber network

project. At the meetings it was decided whether fast Internet

connections should be brought to the village and to what

degree households were prepared to invest in the

connections. Attitudes towards the project were extremely

positive, and households really pulled together and became

active participants in the project, " says Karvonen.

The costs of the project were shared between the

municipalities, private households, the state and the EU.The

costs were distributed roughly equally between the parties, so

that around one third of the total cost is paid by private

households.The total cost per household is around 2,500 -

3,000 euros, of which each individual household pays around

1,000 euros. In addition, household customers pay 50 euros as

a fixed monthly user fee.
