>>CONFERENCE CONSULTANT

We believe that the revolution in the access network is the single most important challenge that the telecom industry will have to face in the next decade. Established players operate under comparatively short term business models yet their legacy networks are close to being obsolete, thus forcing them to consider considerable investment that can only be viewed with long-term paybacks. Their reluctance opens up opportunities for other players (service providers, utilities, municipalities, governments…) to move into the network business and disrupt the field.

This is the starting point of our research. Understanding the dynamics of the access revolution is crucial if the business models of tomorrow’s telecom services are to be redefined. There are other issues in the telecom field for sure, but we believe that this one deserves a particular level of attention. While other more generalist research firms might look at this topic as a sub-section of their broadband coverage, we look at it as the core topic.
