broadband metropolitan area networks in Greece. Having recorded and examined
relevant international practices, we describe in detail the way that these networks should
be managed, operated, maintained and expanded. Taking into consideration that these
infrastructures will widely alter the broadband map of Greece, that Greece has currently
one of the lowest broadband penetration percentages in Europe and that the proper exploitation
strategy of the networks to be deployed could boost the demand for broadband connections
and applications, the application of the optimal business model appears to be of
vital importance. We describe the proposed business model in detail, including ways for
expanding the broadband infrastructures, as well as tackling of viability issues regarding
the authority responsible for managing the broadband metropolitan networks.1 aBouras, Christos1 aGkamas, Apostolos1 aTsiatsos, Thrasivoulos1 aPapagiannopoulos, J1 aTheofilopoulos, George  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/broadband-municipal-optical-networks-greece-suitable-business-model?language=en00507nas a2200133   4500008004100000245005300041210005300094300001500147100002100162700002200183700002700205700002700232856011400259       2008                        eng d00aBusiness Models For Municipal Broadband Networks0 aBusiness Models For Municipal Broadband Networks  a 457 - 4651 aBouras, Christos1 aGkamas, Apostolos1 aTsiatsos, Thrasivoulos1 aTheofilopoulos, George  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/business-models-municipal-broadband-networks?language=en01668nas a2200169   4500008004100000245009800041210006900139260001500208300001500223520099100238100002101229700002201250700002701272700002401299700002701323856014801350       2007                        eng d00aBusiness Models for Broadband Municipal Optical Networks: A proposed model for the Greek case0 aBusiness Models for Broadband Municipal Optical Networks A propo  c1 - 4 July  a 727 - 7323 aThis paper proposes an optimal business model for the successful operation of the currently developing broadband metropolitan area networks in Greece.
