Final Report Chapter 10 Assessment of the Project If it is permissible for the level of service to be lower than the present level, theoretically, it is possible for the increase in number of telephone subscribers to be higher than the target number. (2) Improvement of Communications Services 1) How to select an index As can be seen from Table 5.2-7, Internet users will be able to enjoy significant benefits such as increased capacity for each item of improvement in the communications services. 2) How the target value is determined As described in Chapter 7, the capacities to be increased in this project are as follows: International gateway exchange: 200Gbps (Yangon 100 Gbps+ Naypyitaw 100 Gbps) However, the average demand for Internet traffic capacity that is expected when a tele-density of 80% has been achieved will be, as described in Chapter 7: International gateway exchange: 290 (291.81) Gbps×2 = 580Gbps As a supply capacity of 200Gbps is provided for a demand of 580Gbps for the international gateway exchange, the total demand will be satisfied to a level of 34% (200/580). In addition, the possible number of new Internet subscribers is related to the increase in capacity not only of the international gateway exchange but also of the backbone network and the Metropolitan networks as described in item 1) above, and this is also considered in 1). The number of addresses can be increased by introducing private addresses and V6, and the increase in capacity for the international gateway exchange will dictate the possible number of new Internet subscribers. Therefore, the increase in the number of Internet subscribers that allows the existing level of service to be maintained is: 30 million×0.34 = 10 (10.2) million, which is determined to be the target number. (The total number of demand= 30 million, as shown in Table 5.2-7.) If it is permissible for the level of service to be lower than the present level, theoretically, it is possible for the increase in the number of Internet subscribers to be higher than the target number. The above is summarized in Table 10.2-1.
