Query: 40 Gbps Access for Metro networks: Implications in terms of
  Sustainability and Innovation from an LCA Perspective   In this work, the implications of new technologies, more specifically the new
optical FTTH technologies, are studied both from the functional and
non-functional perspectives. In particular, some direct impacts are listed in
the form of abandoning non-functional technologies, such as micro-registration,
which would be implicitly required for having a functioning operation before
arrival the new high-bandwidth access technologies. It is shown that such
abandonment of non-functional best practices, which are mainly at the
management level of ICT, immediately results in additional consumption and
environmental footprint, and also there is a chance that some other new
innovations might be 'missed.' Therefore, unconstrained deployment of these
access technologies is not aligned with a possible sustainable ICT picture,
except if they are regulated. An approach to pricing the best practices,
including both functional and non-functional technologies, is proposed in order
to develop a regulation and policy framework for a sustainable broadband
access.
