7 Glossary
Shared
access
Technique for shared access to a local network in which a
former monopoly operator rents part of the capacity to
other operators: in that portion of the bandwidth the
operator can provide Broadband services, whilst the former
monopoly operator on the portion of the bandwidth not
hired out, continues to provide telephony services.
ADSL
Acronym for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, (the
available bandwidth in reception is greater than that
available for transmission) to enable internet access at high
speed.
ADSL2+
An ADSL technology that extends the ADSL base capacity
by doubling the download bit flow. The bandwidth can
reach 24 Mbps in download and 1.5 Mbps in upload and

supply by an operator of access to the fixed public
telephone network of the transmission capacity between an
end user workstation and the point of presence of an
operator or an ISP that wants to provide broadband
services to the end user.
Broadband
Data transmission system in which lots of data is sent
simultaneously to increase the actual speed of
transmission with a data flow equal to or greater than 1.5
Mbps.
Broadcast
Simultaneous transmission of information to all nodes on a
network.
Unique browsers
Number of different browsers that, in a specific time span,
can visit a site one or more times.
Access fee
This is the amount debited by national operators for each
minute of use of their network by the operators of other
networks. This is also called the “interconnection fee”.
