Past attempts
• Failed to identify tradable fungible assets
– Bandwidth is not fungible
• Tried to create secondary markets without a
primary spot market
– Future bandwidth trading needed a primary spot
market

Option
Forward dated contracts to buy network services
• NHS tele-care patients, LEA school children, housing
associations, communities
• Network builders could take the contracts as anchor
tenants and collateral
Summary - Why this can work
• Fungible assets
– Not based on bandwidth
– Metre of duct, metre of dark fibre, a wavelength, a
VLAN
– Each asset is sufficiently homogenous to compare,
and different enough to generate market choices
• Liquidity
– European scale
– Transition conditions until experience & scale are
sufficient
– Market operation will lead to a fluid, fair market
Summary - Next Steps
• Trading Platform
– Interface system
– Trading & settlement
• Technical/Operational Standards
– NICC & BSG/COTS
– INCA
• European Governance structure
Aiming for operation in Q4 this year
Thank you!
