From Martini to Bellini: Shifting Operator Business Models
As the market matures, it's becoming increasingly clear that carriers are going to need to rethink their business models in a profound way in order to a) stay profitable, b) capture LTE subscribers' loyalties and c) accommodate the ever-changing device and content landscape.
The Intelligent Networks Imperative
The next-generation of networks offer a lower cost per bit, higher capacity, a flat and all-IP flexibility and faster speeds. But building a smart infrastructure in the process–one that is service aware and yields actionable intelligence on customer usage and quality metrics–offers a path to business model innovation that can meet new market challenges.
The Mobile Data Crunch and Backhaul: A Golden Opportunity for Wholesale
The strong trend towards Carrier Ethernet adoption for mobile backhaul, combined with the fact that mobile operators have yet to get the most out of packet backhaul in terms of generating additional revenue or margin-enhanced services and capabilities, presents a golden opportunity for wholesale providers of Carrier Ethernet services.
Squeezing More out of Spectrum
Since many carriers have found themselves with little or no LTE airwaves, one solution to bridge the gap between operator's current and anticipated capacity is deploying outdoor compact, small-cell base stations while continuing to evolve along the HSPA roadmap.
