The TASIM initiative was launched in 2008 by the government of Azerbaijan to bridge the Eurasian digital divide
TASIM: Trans Eurasian Super Information Highway
– Project launched in 2008 by Government of Azerbaijan
– Objective: Bridge the digital divide in Eurasia
– Approach: Construct a regional Internet backbone
Significant support at Bakutel 2008 and from the UN General Assembly in 2009
Status Quo: Preparing implementation and approaching potential network operators to seek partner agreements

TASIM can act as a broker mediating between operators, provide IP transport services or position itself as a service exchange
TASIM Business Models
Provide peering with other operators on a service layer, i.e. TASIM acts as a “converter” or exchange of services
Signaling (VAS) as additional service on top of a transport network
Services not offered to end users
Provide IP-based transport services to other operators
One or more transport links to international IXPsBased on all means of transport (dark fiber, capacity
rents, IP VPN, etc.)Services not offered to end users
Facilitate deals between operators through smart negotiations, i.e. joint deals enabled which would not be possible otherwise
Money earned on a commission basisNo assets or technical infrastructure ownedServices not offered to end users

TASIM may act as a trusted negotiator between operators with different visions, strategies and business styles
Objective: Improve regional operators’ contacts by enabling deals between operators, some of them wouldn’t be possible otherwise due to political, geographical or commercial issues
Approach: TASIM’s role is to deploy a smart negotiation approach to become a trusted deal broker for the majority of operators in the region serving as a “enabler” for operator-to-operator deals
Infrastructure: TASIM doesn’t need to own or operate any technical infrastructure. The actual network/service interconnection will be handled by the operators
Optionally TASIM can act as a financial clearing house optimizing payments between operators

Possible TASIM Transport & Transit Network Routes
Backbone Network in Surrounding Regions
Unified IP Transport Business Model: Overview
Objective: Establish a regional transport and transit network for IP traffic which is wholesaled to international and regional operators
Approach: − TASIM leases fiber or capacity from several operator
partners, creates an interconnected backbone and wholesales the network back to the partners and other operators
− TASIM creates value by• Providing connectivity to 2nd/3rd level countries
(countries without direct border to the operator home country)
• Consolidating capacity and therefore creating scale effects
• Committing capacity so that new routes can be built or existing ones upgrade
Infrastructure: TASIM owns and operates own active infrastructure in its network

Key concepts
Own active infrastructure, one network
Passive infrastructure by consortium members, when available
Wholesale business only

In the Service Exchange model TASIM can help operators to jointly provide services
TASIM’s objective is to improve regional operators’ national and international footprint by facilitating the exchange of services between operators
For example, if an international company wants to interconnect offices in several countries, TASIM can help operators to avoid each-to-each contacts by becoming a single point of contact for all
TASIM’s role is to simplify service integration between operators by introducing single point of contacts, and common standard on parameters of services

In each business model operators will connect to TASIM on different layers
Service ExchangeTASIM acts as intermediary connecting services of different operators, e.g. P2P, video, VPN
BrokeringTASIM negotiates route deals between multiple operators, but does not own or operate any infrastructure
TransportTASIM provides IP connectivity for participating operators via the TASIM network based on rented fiber/capacity
