The course aims to give a strategical, economical, technical perspective of the telecom industry seen by its stakeholders: the operator, the regulator, the manufacturer, the public authorities and the internet (would-be) giants.
Access and backbone networks, their technologies and how they are set up/operated and commercially exploited are explained (PSTN for switched networks SDH and sONET for backbone networks, WDM-OTH-FTTx for optical networks; xDSL and CATV for access networks, VoIP and signalling). Mobile networks are adressed in another course.
Regulatory and policy aspects are also adressed and give the right framework to understand the strategical issues faced by this muti-players game. News in this industry are used as test cases to illustrate all of this (e.g. OTT players as Netflix, Facebook, net neutrality debate, social networks, copyright and privacy issues, cybersecurity,...)
