I heard from some providers that a new network using a new technology
and an alternative infrastructure is in process to be deployed by EPT.
Does somebody know anything about this ?

Just my 5 (euro)cents:
About the issue on aDSL offers in Luxembourg, Plan-Net regrets to have
to notice that the actual choice between real alternative offers gets
reduced to EPT (including CrossComm) and Cegecom (including Tele2). (I
speak here about the last mile loop, not the IP backbone, as Luxembourg
Online, Alternet and others have their own backbone)
I think we are likely to see an increase of the aDSL prices in
Luxembourg due to this lack of concurrence, which is a shame, especially
when comparing the Luxembourg prices with neighbouring EU states.
As example, we have a professional customer in Contern that applied in
July for an Internet access. There apprear that there is no other
practical choice than EPT for the aDSL part, and that EPT will not
deliver the last mile loop before December ! Trials through other ISPs
shown that, in _all_ cases, they are just resellers of EPT at least for
the last mile loop, making no solution possible before december.
I think also it should be underlined that phone services are still
imposed when applying for a copper line for aDSL services. Lots of
peoples wish to have this copper line for Internet access only, and are
obliged to pay for a phone service they don't wish (as they have VoIP
and GSM services already).
I recently asked some cable operators if a company that wish to have
Internet access through cable network should pay for the TV service as
well. The answer is always "yes". Why people that have TV services
through the cable don't pay for the Intenret access service they didn't
applied for, and the opposite is not true ???
Yours,
