Expand Network Reach and Services Portfolio With Minimal Risk
Looking to build your business through the addition of new services and/or network footprint expansion? You may have more options than you think. Building new infrastructure to support the expansion or new offer is one way to go. But with credit markets closed and a general push toward decreasing risk, new builds can be an iffy proposition. Partnering with a company that owns an existing network is a lower-risk option. But than rather than simply hitting the default button, you may want to consider alternative providers to help with your expansion.

Gauging the Capex Outlook for Telecom in ‘09
Experts agree: Capital expansion among telecom providers will remain low-key throughout the rest of 2009. That's thanks to the recession, of course, and the subsequently tight-fisted debt markets. Yet, broadband demand continues to multiply exponentially, forcing operators to get creative.
Finding Alternatives for Network Expansion
Capex constraints have thrust network service providers into a classic build vs. buy decision process in order to reach new customers or improve services to existing ones. The incumbent carriers have long been on the supply side of the "buy" decision, but increasingly there are other options service providers can consider when leasing network.
Seeking Stimulus Funds
The broadband stimulus funds are the wild card in the capital buildout game. Certainly, telcos can seek these funds on their own, but there may be cause to consider joint bids with alternative access and transport providers to zero-in on the "community" benefit of the project.
Choosing a Cableco Partner
While all alternative providers have their merits, cablecos quickly rise to the top of the list for CLECs, mobile operators, transport provider and even other cablecos and ILECs, primarily due to their available dense fiber footprints.
