Pyramid Presents Findings of FTTH/B Pricing Strategy Study at FTTH Council Event

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, February 2 - Pyramid Research's Ozgur Aytar will present at FTTH Council Europe's 7th
Annual Conference February 24-25 in Lisbon, Portugal, where she will announce
the findings of a study commissioned by the FTTH Council Europe on FTTH/B
broadband access pricing strategies of service providers worldwide. Pyramid
Research (www.pyr.com) is part of TechWeb's Light Reading Communications
Network and is proud to be an analyst partner for the event.

"Pyramid has conducted a comparative pricing analysis of broadband
services enabled by FTTH/B versus competing fixed and mobile broadband
technologies, assessing the competitiveness of FTTH/B services, as well as
service provider positioning strategies," says Aytar. "We also evaluated the
impact of different pricing strategies and business models on the financial
success of FTTH/B projects, and look forward to sharing the results to the
FTTH Council community in Lisbon." Graham Finnie, analyst at Heavy Reading,
will also provide an update of the European FTTH market and will present the
latest forecast for FTTH.

With superfast broadband taking a prominent position in the economic
recovery plans of countries in Europe and around the world, the FTTH Council
Europe expects to attract an even broader range of stakeholders to Lisbon

New Horizons." Register online here
