The Enterprise: A High-Value Market for Broadband Services

Overview Broadband and Managed Communication Services (MCS) for enterprises represent a high-value market as enterprises demand more and more advanced communication services. Service providers from high-growth economies need to capture this growing opportunity and define differentiated service offers for each business segment: an affordable entry package for the small office/home office; a professional package for small and medium enterprises; and to convert leased lines to broadband IP with advanced applications for large enterprises. Early commercial deployment has proven that the right strategy is to focus on broadband and MCS. Fixed, mobile and converged service providers need to take different go-to-market approaches, with new business models and flexible deployment solutions. Choosing the right infrastructure partner is therefore key to success.
