The Challenges and Opportunities facing
Telecom Operators
Telecom companies are investing billions
of dollars to migrate from copper to IP
including Fibre Optics. Whilst defending
traditional revenue streams, both
incumbents and new entrants compete
fiercely on new revenue platforms and
streams to recoup these massive
investments. This panel will tackle and
discuss issues facing the Telecoms industry
from the point of view of current and
future service possibilities and justify
their business models.
Operators are now deploying infrastructure
and rooting out old structures that will
ensure higher speed and bandwidth for end
users, but the key lies on the adoption of
innovative solutions, best practises, low
cost connectivity and application services
to win market share in this cut-throat
industry.
- Business Case of Migrating to IP technology
- Current and future service possibilities
- Telecommunications role in providing the IP infrastructure that is the backbone for innovative digital living solutions
- Market insights, content development and opportunities for the service provider community, not only in traditional strongholds but also across non-traditional categories
- Challenges both on infrastructure and application services in terms of long term investments; Deployment issues of technologies and resolutions
- Future prospects? Framing strategies for 2010

Operators need to offer wealth of services
and flexibility to incorporate upgrades in
order to increase revenue whilst satisfying
customers requirements. Jungo Ltd, a
pioneer in developing smarter residential
and business gateways software, will
present on how its flagship product,
OpenRG, makes it possible for operators to
offer the best of all worlds: offer new
revenue generating services, reduces
hardware and support costs and simplify
customer interaction.
“A blueprint for accelerating
adoption of Next-Generation Broadband
Services”
As a catalyst for developing critical
standards necessary for the delivery of
Broadband and advanced services across the
globe, the DSL Forum is launching
initiatives to expand its mission from
beyond DSL to address interoperability and
management across DSL, fibre and
alternative broadband technologies. This
presentation will focus on the increase in
the uptake of Broadband access, the
majority of who are using DSL, which has
helped the expansion of new advanced
services bringing many new users to
broadband.
"Communications regulation and the challenges of convergence."
The trend towards convergence raises a number of challenges for Ofcom and the industry, ranging from the best way to promote efficient investment and sustainable competition in a Next Generation Network environment, to the need to enable consumers to secure the benefits available in an increasingly complex market. We will need to work together to meet these challenges, to build on recent broadband growth and to provide a strong foundation for the next phase of broadband development.
Broadband disrupted the telecoms industry
and IPTV and Mobile TV is now disrupting
the TV market. This panel looks at the
impact of IPTV and mobile
Entertainment is having and the consumer
response that underpins the businesses,
where consumers want to view their content
