Immunization coverage; System Dynamics modelling. INTRODUCTION The role Information Communication Technologies (ICTS) play in improving the efficiencies

Preventable childhood diseases such as measles, polio and premature deaths still occur particularly in the developing countries due to low immunization coverage (WHO, 1999.

Various approaches have been applied to understand immunization coverage problems, however, there are still acknowledged deficiencies in these approaches

Various approaches have been applied to understand immunization coverage problems, however, there are acknowledged deficiencies in these approaches.

the coverage rate in Uganda is generally still low (less than 60%)WHO, 2001. Figure 1:

Ugandan Immunization Rates by Different Vaccines 1981-2003 Figure 1, illustrates immunization coverage rates in Uganda over 22 years.

Immunisation coverage is very dynamic and can only be sustained by continuous campaigns. As the immunization coverage rates decline, campaigns and different forms of advertising are used as a quick fix to change the negative response towards immunization.

This results in high dependence on campaigns, word of mouth and advertising whose effect wares off with time

2. What kind of data and information may be collected to understand the extent of immunization system and immunisation coverage?

illustrates the intricate and complex relationships among factors affecting immunization coverage from a healthcare system perspective and a number of feedback loops

which may help to explain different immunization coverage levels. The relationships between the variables are presented with a connector

The different ICT requirements and information systems that need to be developed for the improvement of immunization coverage can then be generated from a clear understanding of the system.

The argumentation and reasoning carried in the paper is general in its nature (d). 2 Coverage Intensity

their coverage intensity (the vertical axis), and their information intensity requirements (the horizontal axis). Both of these parameters are valid measures for the nature of the output generated from the different SME performance models.

The vertical axis indicates the coverage intensity of the model, varying from an individual firm up to a whole group of firms.

The vertical axis indicates the coverage intensity of the model. The first parameter considers the information requirements of the models,

As the coverage intensity (the vertical axis) becomes lower the analysis becomes more focused on the internal environment of the firm.

When coverage intensity is high, the models have more focus on the external environment. Examples of those models include the stochastic models and Hazard modeling.

The learning model has a relatively intermediate level of coverage intensity indicating a dual focus. 71 Paper 3:

The vertical axis indicates the coverage intensity of the model. The first variable represents the information requirements of the models

The first dimension is the SME model coverage level known as coverage intensity. The dimension of intensity ranges from a group of firms to a single SME.

The coverage intensity is presented by the vertical axis. The second dimension is the information intensity requirements of the model, known as the information intensity requirement.

It indicates the level of information input required by the performance evaluation model. The information intensity requirement is presented by the horizontal axis in the diagram.

Broadband coverage in Europe today There are many different technologies that could be used to meet DAE objectives

it is important to distinguish between the coverage or deployment of each technology, versus adoption (i e. the degree to which consumers choose to subscribe to the service).

Those costs depend to a significant degree on the coverage footprint of the technology. For the fixed telecommunications network, there are significant uncertainties as to the quality of currently available data.

Achievement of full broadband coverage (and especially of ultra-fast broadband) in Europe is complicated by (1) variations in population density from region to region;(

however, the effects will vary among the Member States, in part as a function of the degree of coverage of the cable television network.

A recent WIK study found a strong link between DOCSIS 3. 0 coverage and FTTN/VDSL roll out (typically by the incumbent),

but no statistically significant relationship between DOCSIS 3. 0 coverage and FTTH/FTTB roll out. This suggests that incumbents find FTTN/VDSL to be an adequate response to cable.

To what extent is cable coverage available in Europe today? What does it cost to upgrade existing cable infrastructure to Eurodocsis 3. 0?

In light of the existing coverage, technical capabilities and costs of cable, what are the likely contributions of cable vis-à-vis the DAE objectives and the costs of reaching them?

the technologies available for fast and ultra-fast broadband, the geographic and population coverage of existing networks,

and the implications of existing coverage for achieving DAE objectives. Section 5 discusses the technological capabilities of a cable network.

BROADBAND COVERAGE Key Findings There are many different technologies that could be used to meet DAE objectives,

it is important to distinguish between the coverage or deployment of each technology, versus adoption (i e. the degree to which consumers choose to subscribe to the service).

The relative cost of achieving each of the DAE objectives with each of these technologies can vary greatly (see Chapter 6). Those costs depend to a significant degree on the coverage footprint of the technology.

Achievement of full broadband coverage (and especially of ultra-fast broadband) in Europe is complicated by (1) variations in population density from region to region;(

and (3) possibly by gaps in coverage of the fixed network in parts of Eastern europe.

, RSPG11-393 Final, 16 november 2011.43 Nooren, P. J.,Marcus, J. S. and I. Philbeck (2012):

it is helpful to first understand the coverage of fixed and cable networks today, and the population distribution of Europe. 4. 2 The coverage footpri nt today In considering the cost of meeting all three of the DAE objectives,

it is important to understand the coverage footprint of fixed networks and cable networks in the European union today. 4. 2. 1 Uncertainties in cur rent coverage statistics The European commission has sponsored studies of broadband coverage, primarily ADSL coverage,

for many years. 46 These data have been reflected in a range of Commission studies, and have been picked up without question in other studies such as those of the EIB.

Past Commission estimates of DSL coverage have assumed that the fraction of Main Distribution Frames MDFS) that contain a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) 47 is a suitable measure of coverage.

This tacitly assumes (1) that existing lines from the MDFS extend to reach all households, and (2) that all existing lines are potentially suitable for DSL. 48 We suspect that these estimates did not place sufficient weight on limitations in fixed network deployment in newer Member States.

which in turn depends on the coverage footprint. 44 Hätönen, J. 2011): The economic impact of fixed and mobile high-speed networks, European Investment Bank (EIB.

The Case of Spain, op cit. 46 See IDATE (2011), Broadband Coverage in Europe, Final Report, 2011 Survey Data as of 31 december 2010,2011,

It connects multiple customer digital subscriber lines to the network. 48 Corrections for fixed network coverage were made in Poland and the Czech republic,

The firm Point Topic is conducting an ongoing survey of broadband coverage on behalf of the Commission.

We would not be surprised if it results in revisions to Commission estimates of coverage, and thus of the cost of achieving the DAE. 4. 2. 2 Coverage of telecoms networks In the Western European EU-15 Member States,

we believe that the coverage of the fixed telephony network is more or less complete. In some of the newer Member States in the east, coverage of the fixed telephony network might well be less than 100%of households passed.

As noted in Section 4. 2. 1 the firm Point Topic is conducting a detailed survey for the Commission that will hopefully shed light on the issue;

however, the results have not yet been published. We look forward to seeing these new coverage statistics once they become available.

There are also differences from one Member State to the next in the distance of the household from the Main Distribution Frame (MDF) and from the street cabinet, differences in the quality of copper loops,

we will not dwell on them here. 4. 2. 3 Coverage of cable ne tworks Some 55%of all households in the EU are reachable by cable television,

while coverage is in excess of 85%in The netherlands, Romania, Malta, Lithuania, Belgium, Hungary, and also in non-EU member Switzerland. 36 Rethinking the Digital Agenda for Europe (DAE) Figure 7:

Meanwhile, the gap between cable coverage and cable broadband penetration represents a significant opportunity for Europe and for the industry.

Global coverage footprint. It is clear that Liberty Global's cable coverage in Europe is substantial

and that 94%of Liberty Global's cable has already been upgraded to modern Eurodocsis 3. 0;

however, the degree of coverage and the degree to which cable has been upgraded varies somewhat by Member State and by cable network operator.

51 Second, European topography is not particularly helpful to coverage. Many regions in Europe are mountainous.

Third, many regions of Europe historically lacked full coverage of the fixed telephony network. This problem has been ameliorated since the fall of the Iron curtain,

the total cost of coverage in low density areas was modest because so few households were involved (see Figure 16). 52 In analysing the cost of coverage of ten geotypes designated

I through X (representing population density from geotype I, with population in excess of 10,000 per Km2, to geotype X, with population less than 5 inhabitants per Km2),

Note that the calculations assume coverage for the location of premises, that is, coverage of the population, not for the coverage of the total surface of each geotype.

Financial requirements for nationwide fibre access coverage, 22nd European Regional ITS Conference, Budapest, 18-21 september 2011;

If a market player sought to maximise coverage without losing money, rather to maximise profits,

The remaining low density geotypes would still remain without fibre-based ultra-fast broadband coverage in the absence of the application of additional public policy measures (for example, subsidies of one form or another.

The apparent conclusions are that a full 100%fibre-based ultra-fast broadband coverage cannot be profitable in Germany under today‘s circumstances.

Cross-subsidy from areas of higher density to those of lesser density would expand coverage,

but not enough to achieve 100%coverage. Either ARPU would have to increase some € 6 per month (from € 38 to € 44 per month),

in part as a function of the degree of coverage of the cable television network. 58 The WIK study considers many other potential interventions as well,

In all scenarios except the first minimum scenario, coverage to the household is assumed to be required.

There are many indications that cable (DOCSIS 3. 0) coverage stimulates fixed network operators to deploy fibre-based ultra-fast broadband more quickly.

I want every European to have 30 Megabit coverage by 2020: and that's where next generation wireless networks will play a very important role.
