Talk:Open-access network

Comments

I think that OAN is an interesting concept and as far as i know there have been a few pilots around the world. I hope I can add more information in the future. Jbarcelo 12:17, 29 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Took out claim that OAN was coined in 2003 - certainly in use earlier - see http://www.dba.org.nz/pdfs/Council%20of%20Ministers%20Meeting.pdf —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.235.49.242 (talk) 17:31, 24 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Network Ownership?

This article makes reference to some networks owned by local governments, but does not explicitly describe the typical ownership of incentives for open-access networks. Who owns such a network? What is the incentive to a private sector business to construct and operate a network? What is the incentive for a private sector owner to upgrade the network? These are important factors, especially given the significant policy implications of advocating a government-run, taxpayer-funded network versus a corporate or private business-owned network operated for profit, without cost to the taxpayer. The incentives are different, the costs are different, and the efficiency is different. I point this out to illustrate the importance of describing the ownership aspects of the concept somewhere in the article.Blcklbl (talk) 21:21, 8 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation

A disambiguation page is needed for OAN as a way to find this article and others with the same acronym.--DThomsen8 (talk) 16:57, 6 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
