How Can Communications Service Providers Overcome New Competitive Threats? - Think Applications!

Overview The Internet-based portals have built their empires leveraging web applications, while service providers have traditionally focused on operating networks and delivering telephony services. Now that IP convergence is blurring the boundaries between networks and applications, service providers must rethink their position in the content delivery value chain. It is no longer enough to just focus on the network. Service providers have specific assets available that will allow them to compete, or to cooperate, effectively with Internet-based portals. This paper presents strategic options for service providers to strengthen their position in the new market environment.
