Service-Optimized Ethernet Solutions Are Critical to Achieving Carrier Business Transformation Goals
Overview For the next 2 to 3 years, business model transformation will remain the single most important trend among all types of communications service providers worldwide. Whether the company is thought of today as an incumbent telco, cable company, wireless carrier or content provider, business model transformation is a critical first step toward building a competitive advantage. Evidence of business model transformation is abundantly clear. Incumbent telcos such as AT&T are inking video licensing deals with content owners to compete against cable companies. Wireless carriers such as Vodafone are acquiring fixed-line assets to create FMC solutions and take share from traditional telcos. Cable companies are aggressively marketing VoIP service and investing in WiMAX licenses to prevent disintermediation from telcos and wireless carriers.
