New technologies such as IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) and WiMAX enable
one service provider to offer the equivalent of telephone service (landline
or mobile) data (T3, T1, DSL, cable modem, cellular broadband, fixed or
mobile) and video at a fraction of the infrastructure costs that incumbent
service providers (landline telephone, cable TV or cellular) have already
invested in their networks. How will incumbents compete? Where do investment
opportunities lie in terms of technologies that will be the pillars for
the next (and exponentially larger) telecom boom? This publication addresses
those issues and offers answers that are critical to incumbents and new
entrants as they consider significant investment in network upgrades, new
networks, applications and services. In this analysis, Frank Ohrtman evaluates
new technologies that will almost certainly force incumbent service providers
to invest billions into new infrastructure or face a massive market share
losses to new service providers or other service providers who do invest
