font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>I think we are missing the question. I
believe what our friend is asking is how to take a forecast of customers and
translate that to bandwidth requirement (total port size). Basically our friend
is considering economy of scale efficiencies and wanting to know if there is an
easy way to calculate those like in the voice business with erlangs. For
example, an E1 using an 8 hour day does on average 250k mins in a month and so
on...<br>

At least this is what I think he's asking.<br>

<br>
I agree with what Ahmed said, in addition that there should be a targeted plan
from the company to reach certain number of customers planned on different
locations, the plan should include customers with different speeds, and upon
this you start to check capacity of the locations to increase the BW, usual
forecasts comes out in a 3 to 5 years plan but I assume yearly plan for
targeted number of xdsl ports/clients. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
