In the early part of 2008 CBN did some thinking around scenarios for successful next generation broadband deployment and how they may play out in the UK. This resulted in a short "think piece" being written in June of last year suggesting three possible scenarios, marking the birth of the "patchwork quilt" concept that makes a virtue out of a fragmenting market, and led to CBN's work on the INCA framework and the JON concept.

With the emergence of the COTS discussion forum, we have republished this piece here to aid the debate for those new to the concepts.
