4th Industrial Revolution – New Data Cable opportunity?

img-25.jpeg


The Icelandic DC Industry and connectivity

  • Iceland is a great location for data centers (DC) due to its cool climate and renewable electricity generation at competitive prices
  • The Icelandic DC industry is however stagnating
  • New report by KPMG written for the Data Centers Iceland coalition, defines three areas that should be focused on improving to strengthen the competitiveness of the DC Industry
  • Competitive connectivity setup is one of the key areas

Report KPMG um data centers in Iceland: http://www.si.is/media/_eplica-uppsetning/The-Icelandic-Data-Center-Industry-FINAL.pdf


Competition for Data Centres

  • Iceland is not the only country with cool climate and renewable electricity production. Therefore other criteria's such as the connectivity become the diversifying factors for DC customers
  • Currently Farice ehf. owns, operates and sells bandwidth access over the only fibre pairs from Iceland to Europe, resulting in a monopoly position in the connectivity market to Iceland
  • Connectivity is a major concern raised by DC customer prospects, naming bandwidth pricing, lack of carrier diversity, and network reliability as primary factors.

img-27.jpeg

img-28.jpeg


Dual Pricing at Farice

  • Farice sells bandwidth to Icelandic ISP like Sýn at higher prices that to DC customers
  • The price for bandwidth to ISP is 5-10x the price to DC customers
  • For Sýn this is significant cost paid to a monopoly vendor and therefore not acceptable position for Sýn going forward

Opportunity for Sýn that also benefits Iceland

The current position brings questions to the mind of Sýn’ management
- What does a new subsea cable from Iceland to Europe cost?
- Is it feasible for Sýn to build and operate a new cable instead of paying the cost to Farice?
- By bringing competition to the market, can the market grow?

  • To get answers to these questions Sýn is running a subsea cable project with support from consultants in the field
  • The management of Sýn believes that the results justify further exploration of the project, if completed would greatly improve the current connectivity setup to Iceland
  • Cooperation from the Icelandic Government is however needed for Sýn to be able take the project forward for the benefit not only of Sýn but all of Iceland
